I do have personal experience with Mac OS 8 on non Power Macs and it is
ok unless you want to use any of its "multitasking" features.

Mac Os 7.6 is faster on 68K macs in my experience than Mac OS 8.  I have
run 7.6 on a Performa 450 (25 Mhz 68030) and it was fine, faster than
Mac OS 7.1 in some respects but that could have been due to the amount
of RAM I had installed, ie 36Mb.
