Probably 3 times faster, the Celeron has a much smaller L2 cache than the Pentium, that's why it sells for less. Celerons have essentially the same core as the Pentiums, (they are the ones which didn't make the grade for running at a higher clock speed) minus the expensive L2.
Any celeron before the Celeron E is a castrated piece of sh1t and not worth touching with someone elses. Literally half the speed of the same clocked P4's in anything where the speed amtters. In things where it didn't they were fine but thats about as much use as a snooze button for a smoke alarm.
Celeron E's however are a bit special. Only seem to be less than 10% slower in the things that matter than a real P4.
