For the emails, I don't see why it should be slow. Yeah, that was the era where Javascript-centric web design was just starting to become really epidemic and before browser developers had really focused in on tuning for maximum JS performance - open a nice simple static HTML page and things would be A-okay, but navigate over to one of the new abominations and the poor thing would grind to a halt. (Whichever web developer came up with the first page that needed scripts enabled to display static page content should've been shot then and there, as a warning to the rest.)
