My experience has been that 3.0 is considerably slower on machines
with "lower memory". 12Meg made a Cube run fine for me under 2.1. Under
3.0 it is intolerable. 16Meg also seems marginal for a Colorstation 
under 3.0. Once a job is paged in and going, I don't notice any difference
but any sort of context switching seems to cause serious paging.

As a caveat to all this: machine memory requirements seem to be a very
personal thing. People use machines differently. What is intolerable
for me may be fine for you. So take it all with a grain of salt.
