It'll be faster than a Pentium.  With the newest chips coming out, it 
could easily catch up to Alpha speed (but then DEC will come out with 
something new...)  Catch is that unless a PowerPC specific version is 
compiled, then you will not be able to run it on that machine -- it'd be 
like trying to run the Alpha WinNT version on a Pentium -- it 
just wouldn't work.
