I think you need a recent laptop and lots o' ram (3GB) to have it perform well. But it is snapperier XP.
But if I have to run a 1GB RAM laptop, it's going XP.
As for security features, it's always a tradeoff; no security = faster, more security = slower. MS had to address it.
I think XP's edge is the drivers - Vista drivers are still lagging, which to me is the biggest problem. MS and ISV screwed the pooch on that one.
The better memory management is reason enough alone to switch (for me).
