XPe boxes tend to have fewer and limited applications -- you're unlikely
to find AutoCAD running on an XPe box! Often, those applications can
remain resident in memory (RAM) and not need to swap.

XPe boxes probably have fewer network interfaces (I can put 2 dozen
network interfaces in my desktop machines; I have *four* in a little
SBC machine... on the same PCI card!). This simplifies the routing
tables and overall design of the network stack. They probably
need fewer sockets as you're unlikely to have several "network
applications" active simultaneously.

Etc.

Well, just for an experiment I may try that registry hack anyway

You'll never know if it is "working reliably" -- only if it is NOT! :
And, you'll never know if one of the updates that get installed next
Tuesday will break it.

It's like overclocking a CPU -- yeah, it *might* work (for a particular
chip, temperature, power supply voltage, application, etc.)... or, not.

If you want a faster CPU, *buy* a faster CPU, etc.

Unless, of course, you don't REALLY want it (i.e., are willing to have
a broken computer) but just want to "play".
