Well your 2gigs helps…
The main thing that limits the speed of VMs is processor speed. What is your CPU speed?
One thing is almost certain. Installing XP full will not improve speed. I have never heard of mini XP. I use tinyXP on my VM. It is much smaller than full XP. Works for me.
You could try it if you want. :google:
Ultimately it is just CPU power. Because it using color, DTM, and bitmap, finding routines SCAR really uses CPU.

you could try giving the vm more ram i think the default is 512mb if that doesnt work whens the last time your computer was reformated if its been a long time you could try that thats what i do when things get slow :).

Try disabling the soundcard on your VM.
I was lagging like hell with VM on my laptop, what do you espect with only 512 Ram total. But then i disabled the soundcard on the VM figuring i wouldn't need it anyway, and since them i'm lagfree.
