You haven't provided any details on your hardware, other installed software,
or safe computing practices. In general, I would say that a computer old
enough to have run Windows ME is likely to have hardware that will strain
under the demands of Windows XP.
You can help yourself by adding more RAM - XP works well with 512MB - and a
faster hard disk and processor. But I think you will find that this is not
cost effective.
To reduce the load on your processor, you should reconsider the software you
have running in the background, and whether you really need it. But even
here you can only go so far, since you need to have XP-compatible antivirus
and fireweall software running at all times, and these days you need a full
time spyware detector as well.
You may just have to live with the performance or buy a new computer.
