Don't think I'd bother if it's a 3G. A few of the features aren't available on it (multi tasking, home screen background) and it did noticably slow mine down. I've installed 4.1 on it and that seems faster than 4.0. I would check which features the 3G supports and see if you need any of them.

If it's a 3GS then that might be different. I think it supports more of the new features and is a bit quicker than the 3G anyway.

solution that worked for me:

jailbreak it and turn off 'multitasking' and it works like 3.1.2

but youtube doesnt connect and the battery meter is all to cock

Last week's iOS 4.1 update addresses 3G performance, along with a load of other stuff. Has she applied that?
