WinXP SP2 slower than SP1

I just benched my system few times. Not good
After installing SP2 (which is at the moment beta) i lost a bit performance.
I used PCmark2002 to bench my system.
*NOTE: Only Windows without 3rd party drivers was installed.

winXP SP1 : 1551 / 1650 / 491
winXP SP2 : 1526 / 1623 / 459

my system:
AMD 550MHz
768 MB RAM PC133
Maxtor 10GB /7200rpm/2mb cache
GF2 GTS (Asus 7700)
EPOX K7XA Motherboard
