In some cases yes you would get better performance with XP but ive found some games run far better on Vista with a up in the FPS by 30% in some cases. For instance when i use to have WoW on being an old game and all i ran it on XP i decide to install it on Vista which is on my D drive as a dual OS setup. I notice a huge improvement when running in vista and a drop in latency as well. All gfx and sound drivers are default in Vista meaning no updates just what Vista has with service packs. SH3 & 4 runs better for me in Vista than XP as well where Men of War runs better in XP than Vista.
You have a 140gig hdd have you ever thought about just dual OS setup, partition your drive leave XP on C and install Vista on D, if Vista is not to your liking just boot to XP.
