As someone who did use an Archimedes A440 when it came out (late 1987 I think), it was plenty zippy enough. It's original desktop shell Arthur was written in BBC Basic, so I think it could have handled Smalltalk. There is a port of Squeak for recent versions of RiscOS (http://www.rowledge.org/tim/squeak/ http://www.rowledge.org/tim/squeak/).
