MDAC 2.6 slow compared to 2.5?

[pdalberth]

We have upgraded from SQL Server 7.0 to 2000. The SQL 2000 install includes mdac 2.6. We use OLEDB for database connectivity and have observed that our executables run 50% (!) slower on mdac 2.6 than on mdac 2.5.

Has anyone else noticed this and come across any solution?

Can we use MDAC 2.5 with SQL 2000?

Thank you in advance.
