I think the biggest difference in linux, with a machine of your speed, will be how good your soundcard / videocard is. Also, if you are new to linux, it will save you a load of grief by starting with one of the more popular multimedia distributions like Ubuntu, 64studio, or Fedora, as there is support to get you through the problems you will run into.
I think any Linux OS / windowing environment will be faster that windows, provided it is configured properly and all your hardware is supported.

my hardware is not really slow (hp pavilion dv1680 core duo 1.83 ghz 1 Gb ram) so I thought using Ubuntu Studio (real time kernell sounds good, although it is chinese for me) but some comments on the web says it does not make a great speed difference migrating from xp and I would really like my machine to fly at the highest speed posible.

i'm on linux recently, with a REALLY OLDER hardware than you..
tried fluxbuntu (careful, the repositories were migrated.. see ubuntu gutsy), works very well..
and now i'm with the last ubuntu 9.04 and i'm very suprised to see that it works fine on my old thinkpad a22p!!!
THE BAD SIDE:
- the audio input does not work (on windows it was fine)
- can't figure it out to make work hids and midi inputs :( yeah, it hurts
- had to use the previous kernel, the last one killed my wireless connection
puppy looks good..
