Im simply amazed that anyone still uses it unless they have to, eg the specs are so old the only choice is ME.
I revisited a win98 machine not long ago to do support for someone. It really reminded me how much more advanced NT based windows actually is in terms of stability, comfort etc (im speaking of 2K and of XP as it is now, -not when it was first released :P).
As yoko said, its bound to be pretty quick if installed on new hardware in some ways. However, it will obviously miss out on certain modern software based enhancements for newer hardware, so may be actually generally slower.
