SCP might be better now. After this year's ARRL DX CW contest, I posted a
comment that SCP got pretty slow above the 2000 QSO mark, even on a 600MHz
Pentium. Wayne made a speedup improvement to SCP in release 10.15 (May
2000), and I found it to be quite usable to almost 2500 QSOs in the CQ WPX
CW contest -- and that was on a much slower 100MHz Pentium notebook that I
used as a guest op at K1RX.
