I thought it was over a gig in size
Microsoft did release it on MSDN, then pulled it again very very quickly, and that wasnt the RC1 either that was full RTM
It isnt supposed to be available till mid march, and only available on Windows Updates from April
Initial reports are that it isnt any quicker and if anything actually slower

Microsoft opens the floodgates for XP SP3 RC2
While Windows Vista Service Pack 1 (SP1) has received the bulk of the attention for the past few months, there's another service pack eagerly awaited for Windows users: Windows XP SP3.
Microsoft released SP3 to testers last week, but the general public can now download the service pack via Windows Update. Users have to first download a small registry file from Microsoft which gives them special access to Windows Update to download SP3.
"The script sets a registry key on your system. The registry key is required for Windows Update to recognize your machine as a valid target for Windows XP Service Pack 3 RC2," states Microsoft. "It is recommended that you apply the resulting update package to an activated, genuine copy of Windows XP, in a test environment."
Users are also asked to remove any previous beta or release candidate versions of SP3 before proceeding with the latest update.
Some of the new functionality included with SP3 include Black hole router detection, Network Access Protection, Credentials security service provider and the Microsoft Kernel Mode Cryptographic Module.

Nice to see that MS has also released a Service Pack blocker vaild for 12 months for the following
Windows 2003 Service Pack 2
Windows XP Service Pack 3
Windows Vista Service Pack 1
Just so us corporate types can stop the above service packs being installed in a production environment until testing has been done
