First: With Winders, (sorry) you really can't transplant the HD because VERY FEW machines match hardware, and there are drivers for everything. I didn't thinks it could be done but then again, we are talking OS X.
Second: Is the code bloated? Is there more going on behind the scenes? Will it just be like what I'm seeing now? Like I said, lack of speed I can deal with. My old PC used to take about 18 HOURS to process, then another 3-4 hours to get ready to actually prepare the burn a single layer DVD. (Yeah, we used it to do other things while it was doing that too.) We just accepted it, and tried to start them late at night, so while we slept and most of us were out of the house it just chugged away at it.

Or you can install on another Mac and transplant the Leopard drive into the G3.
