You have several different posts in multiple newsgroups. If you add each ng
that you wish this to appear in to the "Newsgroups:" selection box it will
appear in all of them. Then any replies are seen in all others at the same
time. You have many good suggestions in eachof them so I suggest you spend
some time to track them down. Here is my 2 cents.

The two servers are likely not exact in hardware, especially drives. That
can play a large factor in performance. It can also mean one of the novell
clients is working properly and one not. But I would ensure you have run
sp_updatestats on the slow server and see how that works after a while. The
reason the batch requests are lower is simply due to the fact the machine
can't process them as fast as the other one. Have you looked at the query
plans for the same query on each machine to see what is different?
