How is the performance with WinXP SP2?

[PrayForDeath]

I currently have two WinXPs on my machine, each on a different partition, one for gaming that has all the major services turned off and not a single taskbar app, and consumes only 80mb of RAM at startup, the other is for my usual computer work (Internet, graphics design etc....), and uses 160mb at startup! Both running on SP1.
I recently downloaded and installed Service Pack 2 on the working OS, but the performance is still the same, the startup time might've increased a little though. But I was wondering, from your personal experience, is it good to install SP2 on my Gaming OS? Or it hurts the performance or RAM usage?

Works fine for me but. My boot times around 5-7 seconds slower... From 23 seconds now to 28-30.... It's not bad at all but annoying compared to what it once was

I did some benchmarks when i went from SP1 to SP2, i posted my results here.

sp2 actually slightly increases perfomance, benchies from SP1 included
