Well, my desktop machine is a 133MHz Pentium. My notebook is a
600MHz processor, but I doubt it would be faster in things like
kernel compilation that a dual 266MHz machine.
But "fraction of machines in use today" would be a totally misleading
number: probably most of today's machines are used for "simple text
processing under Windows", meaning that they have awful processing
requirements for tolerable updates. I know that in most shops I've
been working, the most powerful machines were used by the secretaries.
In short: I think that the average processing power of machines
typically running Emacs might be severely below the average of "in use
today".
