Another update.
 
Did a fresh instal of XP onto a blank drive
Installed Diablo 2, LOD and the 1.09b patch
 
Still chug city, and unplayable with the map on
 
I know this hardware can run the game perfectly so it is to do with XP/Diablo itself.
 
Incidentaly, I tried the game before I installed LOD and it was fine, once LOD is installed performance takes a dive.. even in 640x480.
 
I give up ;P

The new 1.09c patch is out. Does it make any difference for you people having problems?
