Our company installed Windows XP Professional some time
ago and it seems that a lot of actions (including simple
things like switching between programmes, print previews,
saving large files etc) go generally a bit slower than
under Windows 2000. Its not dramatically slower, but its
annoying when you work with XP all day.

I already disabled the interface components (the fancy XP
stuff), but this didnt seem to have much of an effect. I
also try not to run too many programmes at the same time,
but again this doesnt have a positive effect.

The computers we use have 128MB RAM and 2.26Mhz, Pentium 4
CPU. Is this too little to work smoothly with XP?

The CPU's are more than adequate, but your RAM is too low. To run JUST
WinXP it has been said that you need 256 mb of RAM. Personally, I
would not run a lot of programs without 512 mb.

More ram will solve your problem.
