When comparing Windows XP to Windows 2000, you will find that XP is faster than 2k, no matter what, as long as the reference machine has at least 128 megs of RAM.
XP boots and shuts down twice as fast. With the eye candy turned off and "classic" Explorer enabled, the interface will be far more responsive on an XP machine.
I speak from experience. My fastest computer is an 850MHz Athlon, and I use both Linux and Windows on machines as slow as 75MHz on a daily basis.
