Try this:
Copy the JPEGs to the XP machine that loads them quickly, and share them.
Try to access those JPEGs from the XP machine with the problem, and see if they go
slowly.
If it is a wired network, try swapping the cables around and see if you get any changes.
Try running the XP machine with problems in "Safe Mode with Networking" and see if
it acts any different.
These troubleshooting steps will test for any problems physically (wires) and any
interference of software (Anti-virus scanning the files coming in).
