I might have used an "internet speed optimization tool" a few years ago with my Win Xp. Since it was already a couple of years old it might have not been compatible with high speed DSL. But since that is more than three years ago I don't know for sure anymore.
I just wanted to say that I don't think it is a native Win XP problem.
