well....have you tried installing Windows2000 or XP on that machine? You may not even be able to open a text file in those systems, so I think it's unfair to say Windows is faster than X. Compared to Win98, DSL is cutting-edge, and of course is going to be slower than a decade-old operating system.
There are things you can do to improve its performance, though....eliminate the dockapps and icons that load when X is started, use the "simple" style instead of the big blue thing that DSL uses as default, choose a smaller window manager from the myDSL repository such as twm or evilwm, or even try running without the overhead of a graphical desktop.
