I was running later versions of MAME on a 1.2 GHz Celeron machine manufactured in 2001 e.g. basically OG Xbox hardware (a faster CPU clock but an absolutely terrible integrated i810 video chipset which didn't even support 32-bit display modes).

I'm sure an Xbox 360 could handle something just a bit newer than software that is pushing twenty years old; that version of MAME is even older than the infamous lr-mame2003 junk that RetroArsch keeps peddling to unsuspecting users. Running anything below 0.150 is the equivalent of installing Windows XP on an i7, or even a Core 2 Duo for that matter.
