I'd really just recommend going back to System 7.6 on that machine.  8
and 9 will run on it, but they're going to be pretty slow.  If you
haven't already put a Level 2 Cache into the cache slot, that will help
speed a bit.

About the only other thing that's going to make any significant boost,
aside from downgrading the system, is to put an accelerator card into
it.  And with that nice iMac next to it, I wouldn't bother.  :-)
