GAIM seems to work a little faster than Trillian. GAIM is also usable if you're using a non-Windows computer (I use it with my Linux desktops, for example) and it works with Google Talk.

Trillian (Basic or Pro) does have the better interface compared to GAIM, IMHO. Our library just started an IM reference service using Trillian to monitor the Big 4 services.</p> Gaim supports Jabber/Google Talk protocols, without spending $25 on a “Pro” version of Trillian.
