This is arguably irrelevant. How many years ago was XP released? You can reasonably expect a version of any operation system from that far back in history to run faster than the latest version because the latest version assumes up-to-date hardware.
When OSX first came out, my brother-in-law ran it on a 1998 vintage iMac. Ran like a dog. Nobody used this sort of experience as a rationale for dismissing OSX.
