Query Analyzer Extremely Slow on New Server



Hello,
I'm transferring databases to a new server and noticed QA's performance
is very, very slow when querying against it. However, when I use the
same exact query in QA against the original server the results take
only a few seconds to return.

=============
Server 1: Win server 2000, 2 processors, 2 GB RAM, 100MBs adapter
Server 2: Win server 2003, 4 processors, 4 GB RAM, 1Gbit adapter.

SQL 2000 on both, and both configured exactly the same except # of
processors and MB RAM limit.

Both servers are on the same network, the same distance from the client
PC (~10 miles), and located in the same room.
=============

Both databases are identical and data is in synch on both (server 2's
database was created using last night's backup from server 1).

Query is the same: SELECT * FROM tbl1
Response time on server 1 = ~10sec, server 2 = ~4min 30 sec.

And, last, if I remote into server 2 and run the query locally in QA,
response time is ~2sec. Or, is I "Right-click --> Open" the table from
the client's QA it opens almost instantly. Only when I select * only
on server 2 is the response time extremely slow.

I've scoured these boards and haven't found anything out of whack. Any
help would be hugely appreciated!!

Thank you,
Cory
