It seems to me that XP is inherently sluggish--what has been
experience of others?

Lack of physical RAM affects XP performance.. how much do you have
installed?

Nope it's your system that's inherently sluggish - speed is at least 50%
faster than 9x.

First thing I noticed when I installed XP RC2 over Win98, is how much faster
the computer ran.
Now I'm running XP Home on 2 computers and to me, it seems like they run
even faster after use.

It's ok if you leave it alone and don't do something stupid like
installing SP1 and doing upgrades and that kind of ****. Seems to run
fast using hyperthreading and a dual cpu.
