Last month I reinstalled Windows XP to speed things up and free up space.
It's nice to have a clean system and more disk space, but in general I'd say that this procedures is not worth it. I still have some things that are very slow (e.g. sometimes it takes a long time to come out of standby), but the big problem is the major inconvenience of losing settings, having to reenter passwords, etc.
For example, the toolbars on my paint shop pro are not the way I want them. The little annoying helper thing comes up on Open Office Writer, and I have to figure out how to eliminate it. Audio recording didn't have the recording level booster, so I had to figure out (again) how to get that back.
