My slowest machine is a Pentium 133 with only 112M of ram and it is
still functioning.

Here is an idea that I would probably do if it were unbearably slow.
I would remove the disks from the slow machine and put them into a
faster machine with more ram.  Then I would perform the updates and
upgrades.  That should work fine.  Then replace the disks back into
the original slow machine.  That way the major release upgrade is done
and then all that is needed is the routine security upgrades.
Just an idea...
