twm is the fastest window manager; it's simple as possible
(graphically). but It's not very powerfull. My preferred is Window
Maker; you can configure everything and it's fast. I don't know how
could it work on your machine; try it. I've also tried Blackbox and
it's very fast too (and I like it more than fvwm2).
It's your choice ;)
