I wouldn't rule out sound drivers as being too far out of the realm of possibility. I'm a game developer, and I've seen more than a few issues of terrible performance due to flaky sound drivers. In many cases, there's not much a game developer can do other than suggest that consumers update drivers. The world of device drivers is a wild and wooly land.
Given that the original poster said that the same machine used to run TT just fine before the OS upgrade, it's almost certainly related to drivers. XP includes DX8 as part of its core system, so perhaps it might also be an older driver being emulated for DX8.
What is the hardware spec of the machine having trouble (video card, sound card, memory)? Perhaps we can help point you in the right direction for driver updates.
Also, try running with some of the shortcuts available here: DX7 vs. DX8, hw vs. sw midi, OGL vs DX.
