I am considering to install windows xp on external usb harddrive through VirtualBox but i was worried about its speed. Will it be OK to do this? Should i be worried about anything?

Just benchmarked my drives...
Cache readings are largely useless. And don't believe the hype of published transfer speeds.
It won't be as fast as an internal hard drive - but it'll be perfectly usable. Especially in the real world, where data is accessed from all over the drive, rather than reading a huge continuous stream of data...
