Default Faster browser?

Ken,

Is there something faster that also works well I can
use on my old XP system?


That fully depends on what you expect your browser to be able to do
(and as you did not mention that ...)


Gmail, Google News, Google and weather.

Personally I've disabled javascript, and installed a plugin
(RequestPolicy)which stops any-and-all third-party content from
loading.

The end result is that I only see content from the page im visting*.
Which certainly improves download/display times. :-)

*The plugin (ofcourse) allows whitelisting on a site-site basis or
globally.

If you want a bit more control than JS fully on or off than you could
also take a look at the NoScript plugin
