It demonstrates the need? I see no need. XP runs applications plenty
fast. It's nice to know that tweaks exist though for people that like
to get the most from their hardware and software (and that have the
time to tinker).

Nah. You'd like to think that and spread the FUD, but in reality all
it takes is to not launch executables from unknown persons.
Also, keep automatic updates on, don't mess with the firewall settings
(i.e. keep it on), and you are good to go.
I realize that linux users don't have to worry about this, as hackers
don't target a system with <1% of the desktop market.
