I wouldn't give up X for anything, but i restarted in 9.2.2 to play unreal and the OS amazingly fast. I'm running Explorer 4.5 and the web surfing is SO fast also. There is also not much installed in this environment so maybe that helps. So i hate to admit it but this 9.2.2 is MUCH faster than 10.2.4.

Wow, that is soooo funny, I was just having the completely opposite experience. My wife boots our system into 9.2 to play
WarCraft so there are times when I get to the computer and it is still running the Classic OS. When trying to use the internet with IE 5.1.6 it seems to take longer to load pages than in Safari (and sometimes would stall for up to a minute for no reason what-so-ever then start working fine again). Plus I miss features like system wide text-to-speech and spell-checking.
Six months ago I would have just left the system in Mac OS 9.2 until I needed one of my Mac OS X apps, today the only time this system is in Mac OS 9.2 is when playing a classic game (and as I have Quake I, II, III, Elite Force, Cro-Mag Rally and Ghost Recon all running in Mac OS X, I don't reboot into 9.2 much anymore).
But, experiences are a personal thing. You should use what makes you, personally, happier. If Mac OS 9.2 does it for you... more power to ya.
