All that said, I post this from a Pi4 8GB, it is sometimes really slow,

but I like and use the GPIO port.

  I'm interested in putting the internet on a separate computer and
switching the monitor, keyboard and mouse with a switch box. How well
would it work for something like that? How well does it handle the
internet?

My Raspi sits on the HDMI input of my main system monitor. I have separate keyboards for each machine (my choice) and a KVM too.
Any modern TV will do to use it.
