The machine I am currently using is: 200 MHz CPU, 96 MB RAM, Windows 98 SE.
My mIRC runs probably just as fast as it does on your system, and everyone else's system. It seems though, that mIRC often claims 100% CPU time regardless of the speed of your system. This will cause sluggishness in any environment.
I only really notice speed issues when it comes to window painting (aka: scrolling). This effects everything from connecting, MOTD displaying, netsplits, join/part floods, and even picture window drawing. You will see that most speed complaints on this forum boil down to display updating.
