bill gates is personally trawling his way through your harddrive laying traps so your system will fall over for no apparent reason, and topping up the blue ink so the bsod will always be available to occur at the most inconvenient time, its really a cunning plan by him to take over the world you see......
Alternatively it could just be that your system needs a good clean out and if you have only just gone onto sp2 then you more than likely need to update with all the other updates, and clean your system up a bit, get rid of temp files, delete some rubbish, get more ram, new cpu, save hundreds of pounds to fill bill gates pockets further and buy vista, so it can bsod on you but tell you in a nice way that your work you have done for the last 5 hours is gone >:(

Many things can slow a computer. First think RAM and max it out, this the easiest thing you can do to speed your computer. Next think running processes, many programs you load will put themselves into you Config file to start-up. Learn how to turn these off if you not use them regular, they basically are started so when you click them they launch faster, if, they not set to do this they just take a little longer to start. Third check your Virtual Memory, it use your Hard Drive as RAM when too many things are running, it swap information back and forth on the Hard Drive and with your real RAM. I have a computer I getting setup I bought in a yard sale for $15. It only have 32 MB RAM, so, needless to say, when I made a Duel Boot for Windows 98 which was on it and installed Windows 2000, it a little slow, it works, but, I can see that Hard Drive light working its @ss off (I need more RAM). This a few things that are easy to check and fix to speed your up.

I'm assuming you mean Windows XP Home SP2? What is your level of computer knowledge?
If yes, then it may be for several reasons that are unrelated.
1) low hard drive space
2) your computer is full of spam
3) you have too little RAM
You can probably remove it by Add/Remove programs if it is too annoying.

check task manager to see whats running.
and run msconfig to see whats being used at boot-up.
you can cancel tasks in msconfig and task manager, you'll soon find the pc runs much faster.
windows insists you have stuff running that you mostly never use.

Windows firewall?
If you already have your own 3rd party firewall, disable the Windows one.
