Gah. This again? No, SP3 does not speed up XP. The test everybody references was comparing MS Office 2007 pre- and post-SP3, and the improvement was only 10%. I am not sure that I could actually determine if office is running 30% faster, let alone 10%.
Other tests have not found any appreciable difference in any other aspect. Vista SP1 does better in lower-memory systems too, from what I've heard.
