Well, to answer your questions.

I pulled out my old original ibook running OS 9.2.2. Downloaded the 3.7 MB snoodsetup.exe file (magnet hosted). The verification process took a long time. Virtually no time for saving. I accounted this to the ibook being 300mghz.

For comparison, running classic on my current system, it took about 1 second per 3% of verifying file done and no time for saing file. To run as a control, I dled the same file on my jumOSX version. It took no time verifying file. For all I know, it didn't even do it it went so fast.
