My old IBM T21 suffered almost the same issues, tried to roll back the updates and even tried to install XP SP3 without any good performance change. I had to reinstall Windows XP...
I believe it's a waste of time trying to troubleshoot performance stuff under a multipatched old install windows if you just can reinstall and get a fresh registry.

This isn't the right place, but a bit of help is always welcome :)
Windows XP, as with most other Windows' has the irritating habit of pilling up junk in the registry, and other places. My first check is always to check for viruses - update the virus definitions, and scan the PC thoroughly, do a scan disk & defrag, and then try a registry repair tool. Other than that, a re installation is your best bet.
Good luck
