Number 1, XP is x86 only. But I figure you know that, and you're only talking performance wise
Number 2, A 400 MHz ARM Cpu is no where as powerful as even a 233 MHz Pentium 2. ARM CPUs are simple, low power, low performance, in-order arcitectures. The pentium II us an advanced out of order architecture, with an FPU and fast L2 cache. The architecture used in the Pentium II (P6) is still basicly what we're using in Core 2 Duos.
Number 3. ARM's were kicked out of the desktop space sometime in the early 90's or so. By significantly slower than today 486's and 586's (pentiums). Desktop CPUs have come a long, looooong way since then, as has OS demands. ARM's haven't. At least as much.
