While XP using NTFS may not be as fast it is by far more stable that 98/ME. Instead of a complete crash and reboot like 98/ME most often the app will crash back to the desktop. Personally I find it to be just as stable as 2000 with greater hardware and software support.
If XP is taking longer than 98 to boot then I would think something is wrong somewhere.
Clean installs offer less hassle and are recommended over upgrades from 98/ME The only upgrades that seem to have the least amount of trouble are Win 2K to XP.
I prefer Diskeeper or even Diskeeper lite over the built in defragmenter.
