SQL Server 2000 timeout

I have a VB.NET application using SQL Server that I have been developing
using a test database. Recently I wrote a program to convert data from a
customer's old DOS based system to an SQL server database, in the same
format as the test system. When I had finished converting (it ran for about
24 hours), I ran my application, and started to get timeout errors when
accessing the server - the converted database was about 5 times the size of
the test database. However, the errors occurred when accessing tables that
were no bigger than those in the test database and no more data was being
transferred over the network.
I have rebooted the server and my development machine, and performance
is now back to normal with the converted database, but I am slightly
concerned about what caused the errors in the first place - is it likely to
be a problem with my conversion program or a more serious problem with the
database itself? Any suggestions would be appreciated, although I know it is
difficult to give an answer without all the details.
