Speaking as someone with an SLC at work that he uses on a regular
basis, 16 mb with NetBSD is a little slow--it's not as responsive as
my 650 Athlon workstation. But after you pop up an xterm, typing into
it is just as responsive as anything else, and as a login terminal it
works beautifully.
The SLC is underpowered compared to an SS1.
