It is a bug in Windows XP.

Well, no, not really. The problem is rather that most sound cards don't have MIDI chips on board anymore, but load all instruments from one file called GM16.dls. This is called software synthesizing and is unfortunately a lot slower than the better sound cards, which have an instrument chip on the sound card.
