I agree. I still get good interactive response when compiling things with -j6 on Kernel 2.6.1 and KDE-3.2. My system load will be > 5 and web-browsing, etc. are definitely usable. This with a PIII-700/512M.
If you have any spare boxes lying around, distcc is really good at compiling KDE releases if you can't get binary packages, BTW.
