Bummer on the HTT stuff. Means - as I feared - that the Poser (3, 4, 5) API interface is so old, that XP can't manage it properly in an HTT environment. My hunch is the Windows API interface for Poser was essentially developed when Poser first was ported from Mac to PC, and has essentially remainded unchanged since then. I assume that was for Windows 95, but I guess it could have been Windows 3.1... "Parasite" was just a play on "Content Paradise" - as it didn't seem to offer a paradise to me, it just robbed compute cycles when using the Parameter Dial window. And as it turned out also during load - at least for those of us loading at 32-bit ;-) I'm guessing that you also have ATA drives? That should theorectically speed up very large load times (like Poser) because it doesn't have to share the PCI bus with all the other traffic.
