I still would recommend getting more RAM....with a 300Mhz processor and light ram like that you are still suffering due to heavy swappage...if you could kick the RAM up to 64 or more your machine will seem more responsive...I would venture to bet by a factor of 2x-4x as fast!
RAM is the key to linux...the more you have the faster that sucker will run!
With Damn Small Linux I would almost state the "optimum" RAM target level for older hardware is 64-128Megs...anything below that creates sluggishness, anything above that is just icing on the cake~
