I do not have WinXP available, but if you want the best help from this
board you should post the *exact* code that you are running. I don't think
anyone has ever complained of code lasting a page or so (although any more
and it becomes a bit of a chore :P). It does help. How are you sure that it
is pygame.event.get() that is lagging? Have you tried """
while True:
    for e in pygame.event.get(): pass
"""* or even "while True: pygame.event.get()"*? If you have not, would it
not be something else? How are you measuring the lag and what type is it
(late signals? program freezes?)?

*Obviously you need to add code that tells you whether it's on time, but
I'm not sure how you're doing that currently.

I'm not saying this to be harsh and if I could I would look further into
the question, but I am trying to ask what I would probably need to know if
I did have a Windows installation.

Or it could be a known bug. Eh.
