In your boot.ini file, add /PATCHTPR to the boot line, eg:
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Microsoft Windows XP
Professional" /noexecute=optin /fastdetect /patchtpr
This may give you some speed increase depending on the CPU you are
using.
/PATCHTPR activates a feature in gplpv that patches the windows kernel
to avoid using a certain hardware register (Task PRiority). Access to
the register is very slow, and it is accessed very frequently.
