Part of the reason may be a low end or low memory video card. Machine processor speed is only one of several factors when gauging a system's capabilities -- I believe calculating blends of images is handled by the video card. You might try setting the XP system's display to thousands of colors, or use a lower resolution, and see if either change makes a difference.
