I'm Going to Tell you Secret of Microsoft's Operating System.  Microsoft reserves 20% of your available bandwidth for their own purposes like Windows Updates and interrogating your PC etc You can get it back: Click Start then Run and type " gpedit.msc " without quotes. This opens the group policy editor. Then go to: --> Local Computer Policy --> Computer Confurigation --> Administrative Templates --> Network --> QOS Packet Scheduler --> Limit Reservable Bandwidth.   Double click on Limit Reservable bandwidth.  It will say it is not configured, but the truth is under the 'Explain' tab i.e." By default, the Packet Scheduler limits the system to 20 percent of the bandwidth of a connection, but you can use this setting to override the default."

This is one of my favorite tweaks as it makes a huge difference to how fast your machine will 'feel'. What this tweak does is remove the slight delay between clicking on a menu and XP displaying the menu.   Go to Start then Run Type 'Regedit' then click 'Ok' Find "HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop\" Select "MenuShowDelay" Right click and select "Modify' Reduce the number to around "100" This is the delay time before a menu is opened. You can set it to "0" but it can make windows really hard to use as menus will open if you just look at them - well move your mouse over them anyway. I tend to go for anywhere between 50-150 depending on my mood.
