 A few years ago I was migrating a bunch of Fox data to MSSQL.  I was
 using a spare PC running MSDE (the previous incarnation of SQL

 So I installed Win2K Server  full SQL 2000 on the same box.  The same
 data scripts run a hell of a lot faster, *and the resulting data was
 less than 2GB*.  Funny that.

   
  *and the resulting data was less than 2GB*


Why do you suppose that I wonder?  Stored as perhaps differing field 
types (char vs varchar)?  I eluded to the governor switch idea that 
was in place in MSDE whereby it would purposely slow down after so many 
concurrent queries.  I thought perhaps they had other governor 
switches in place to limit the freebie version too.  ??

 Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes.  (attempting my best to not sound sarcastic, but
 it is all slow) 
 
 I want to reiterate, I am referring to the SQL Express version, not
 the regular version. I have no idea if they are the same or different
 code bases and have not used the one that comes with the standard,
 developer, or enterprise edition of SQL Server 2005. My experience is
 on one machine that is a couple of years old with *only* 512MB RAM. I
 have seen it demoed by presenters and it appeared slow on their
 machines as well. Hopefully it is addressed in the service packs.

Ok.  I'll say the RAM volume is your problem that can be overcome.  

I don't have SQL Express installed, just SQL 2005 Developer.  I'm waiting on
getting the Data Buddy or the team Foundation version of SS2005 for this new
project I'm on.

 Since the Express is the free version (correct me if I'm mistaken),
 perhaps they've intentionally made it slow so as to make the non-free
 version more appealing?  Just a WAG...  

In MSDE there was a governor.  In 2005 Express it's been removed.  The
difference is that Express WON'T use multiple processors if present, and has
an upper limit of ram, I think I remember 2 gig but who knows if that was
just during the beta phase.


So in Express they doubled the usable disk space, took away the concurrent
user limit, and added much better security if your using AD.

I don't think he was referring to SQL Server 2005. I believe he is referring to 
Management Studio
for SQL Server *Express* is dog slow, even on latest and greatest hardware. It

 What is slow?

I have found that heavy batch operations that would generate 40,000 
transactions a run would run
faster in 2005 then 2000.  That would be a batch process that took 3 hours to 
run went down to 2.25
running the same .net code base just a different sever instance for 2005 
instead of 2000.
(Same machine)

Granularity became much better so your security is much tighter.  Encryption of 
a column is real
cool also.

So what wasn't running fast anyway?
