Infoworld thumbs down on Windows XP in Test Center comparision.
infoworld.com
Using a scripting program called CSA Benchmark Studio Professional, they tested 3 varieties of computers under four workload levels using both Windows XP and Windows 2000.

Windows XP was about 35% slower under the "baseline" workload, and even worse (sometimes >100% slower) under heavy load.

Unfortunately the 3 systems tested were
Pentium 4 1.5 GHz
Pentium 3 733 MHz
SMP Pentium 3 1GHz

I suggested to one of the authors, PJ Connolly that, in a followup article, they include an Athlon XP system and an Athlon system.
