I have p75 with 32 megs of ram and apps using AWT run fine. i always thought Swing was slow because my pc was slow, but i have found it has a really bad rep for poor speed. My advice to you is find an AWT tutorial, get TextPad and develop your java apps without the Visual luxury.(i find it a little too easy) I guess java is still to slow to have such a complex GUI api like Swing to be used as a standard API, it's probably slow because it's built off of AWT itself. Anyways i'm carrying on.
