i dunno, i guess i'm lazy, but for the most part i run 3.9.
i hear what you're saying about bloated and laggy though. i tried 3.9 on my A500, it'd run, but a trim 3.1 install patched up just felt so much faster. i'll probably roll back to 3.1 on my 600 for the same reason.
maybe it's just the 16bit machines chipram bandwidth that's being squeezed - they just don't have the horses to deal with all that newicon stuff...
i've not got the roms to put it on my 3000 yet, but my 4000 and 1200's have all been fine with 3.9, so i'll see soon if an ECS machine with a 32bit spine can cope...
my main reason for 3.9'ing was the full TCP/IP stack... although the boing bag2 install always crashed on my PPC card... so didn't bother with that update...
somedays i wish i only had one amiga, that would then be my focus for a fully operational and speedy machine.
