Thanks Roger!
I switched "Memory Usage" to "System Cache"
http://www.techspot.com/tweaks/memory-winxp/
and my performance problems are gone.
I have to see how this setting influences my overall
performance. It's strange that windows is not a bit more
clever on caching. I have 2Gb and most of the time I have
1Gb free. Windows could use this for temp files.....

Windows XP limits the maximum size of the cache (default 10MB!). There
are zillions of pseudo-freeware programs out there to change it. You
can also change it using the control panel and/or registry:

cache)
