You have a slow computer and you not have sufficient memory for WinXP. On a blank install, WInXP take 130-180 Mb of your system memory, if you install additional software like antivirus or firewall, your system start to use virtual memory and implicitly system performance is slowed down.
For improve speed of your system try to close some processes who not realy help you, like windows auto updaters or other program updaters. Try to do this from TaskManager and/or CPanel->Administrativ Settings->Services.
From services you can close the fowlling: Themes, TaskSheduler, Security Center, Secondary Logon(if you not use 2 user account), Messanger, Indexing service, Help and Support, Error reporting Service, Automatic Updates.
Also you can go in CPanel->System->Advance->Performance->Settings-> and select "Adjust for Best Performance"
after that go in CPanel->System->System Restore-> and turn off restore service for secondary HDD drives (D,E,F)
You can use a tweak program for another improvements.
