Slowdown with latest patch

[timscronin]

We have a server (win 2003 sql server 2000) which had the latest MS patches applied on 3/23. The db server is a dell quad attached to a dell storage array. Ever since this patch we have noticed considerable slowdown in performance. Nothing much has changed as far as the db is convcerned. Anyone else that applied the latest win 2003 patches see any issues?

I would uninstall the patch and validate if it is a coincidence or the patch itself causing the slowdown in performance

Do you have a development environment to test patches on first?

Not a true one to mimic, small one to test that it works correctly
