Five years ago these things were EOL already. The question is what you
use them for. Even my maxed out U10 is incapable of playing a DiVX film
fullscreen - which a lousy little P2-400 x86 would have no trouble with
- so looking at pure CPU power they could be called dog slow - but as a
light little fileserver they're excellent, getting better throughput
rates than you'd get with a faster clocked x86 system.

It certainly is not faster than a U30, let alone anything newer, but
still fully useable (in fact I know of two still used in production at
my workplace, one as an in-house DHCP server, the other to store cases)
