Windows XP runs some applications up to 10% faster with the latest service pack installed, a research firm has found.

"We were pleasantly surprised to discover that Windows XP Service Pack 3 (v.3244) delivers a measurable performance boost to this aging desktop OS," wrote staff at exo.performance.network, in a blog post.

I noticed a bit quicker boot on 2 of the machines I have put it on (out of 6), but no real performance changes.

Do not feel any speed boost. I believe the reason why some people feel a speed boost is because all of the junk they have on their computer before SP3. This is the same with the SP2 update. If you do not install a bunch of junk onto your computer there should be no speed difference from SP2.
