fast enough?

[amiga4001]

I am using an old laptop with a pentium3 on 733MHz.
It is running puppylinux and euae 0.8.29 wip 4 but it seems just not fast enough to emulate an amigamachine which will run whdload and for example apidyia.
It runs the workbench quite well but with whdload it is just underpowered?
I tried ECS chipset,8 bit sound 68010 processor but that all doesn't influence the perfor mance.
Advice lease

It has 256 MB off ram.
Hate it to leave puppylinux xp is a bit too demanding for this little machine.
I can browse the internet quite nice now with puppy and opera/firefox.
But guess it is the only way too play those nice old retrogames.
How can I setup a minimal setup off xp?
I only now off the normal install.

I downloaded and extracted puae but where is the starticon?
