I run it on an old Dell PPro 180, or 200 if i change the processor. Runs fairly well i think with either processor onboard. Still need to tryout a few OS's on my dual 200 but thats another thread =)

I havent done any tweaking to the OS after install and SP updates etc.

I did so long ago. Dual booted NT4 and 98. From what I recall the main thing was simply making sure the correct chipset drivers were installed from Intel. FX board?

I used to run 98 on my old 486 with a Pentium Overdrive. It ran well, but I wouldn't have called it snappy. Your Pentium Pro should be fine with it.

I've got W98SE and W95 on P5TX-Bpro 200MMX 64MB SDRAM right now. As long as you're going trim 98SE for speed as you say, then I believe you'll be completely happy with it. FWIW I use O'Reilly's Utilites for the quickest/easiest way to do most all of the tweaking.

DOS-based Windows on Pentium Pro is basically wasting it. You should be running NT or something that uses the least amount of 16-bit code possible, as PPro isn't very fast running it.

It's OK as long you don't install things like the latest possible IE etc.

should be fine its basically as fast as a pentium classic 200 in windows 9x

Just ask yourself what you'd install on a Pentium II.

They run 98 fine. The disadvantage is that 16-bit apps do run slower than on a 'classic' Pentium (clock-for-clock) but they are much faster on 32-bit apps such as GLQuake.
