It's a good point you make. There is a spare P3 500MHz PC running W98 in my office, so I gave it a run on that and response times were 4x longer (average of 1.1 secs).
I think that with a 1GHz CPU response time should be just about acceptable. The software is made for in-house usage, and I'm fairly sure none of the staff has less than a 1GHz PC.
Regards
Steve

If I may point out: Most users don't have a 2.4GHz PC. Developers tend
to have "cutting edge" hardware either for the "geek factor" or because
they like the faster compile times or both.
The "average user"'s computer is 1GHz-1.4GHz these days. So if it takes
250ms on your computer, assume it takes 2-3 times as long on slower
hardware. However, the user is probably used to applications chugging
along sluggishly, so it's your call.
