doom2.exe is trying to access your Sound Blaster card's hardware
directly, and XP doesn't like that (neither will 2000 or NT); that's why
there's a pause every time it tries to play a sound.

Since you also have the same problem with Heretic, I'd recommend you try
either ZDoom (http://www.zdoom.org/) or Doomsday
(http://www.doomsdayhq.com/), both of which will play Heretic along with
Doom (not to mention Hexen) on Windows XP.
