Just fine.  I haven't tried X-Windows, and cannot comment about
its needs.  I've allocated lots of swap space, but haven't looked
to see if it ever gets used (I suspect very little).  With
4 Mb, and single-user (but sometimes running background
compilations etc.) I find things faster with a 1 Mb ramdisk for /tmp.
