The NUMA helps it a lot as well as the per cpu thread pooling and scheduling
that's tied into it. 2000 does't have NUMA, not even the Datacenter version
which I have. Keep in mind as as server OS, the servers must be ran as a
service to get the benefit from the resource allocation and scheduling from
either windows 2000 or 2003.
A lot of people run them in cmd boxes not realizing that it takes
away from the priority and memory/resource management, unless you have boost
foreground application enabled, then they get almost the same priority.

Steven,
the Kernel is more optimized to deal with background services and
multiple connections/disconnections as well as having it's multithreaded smp
more optimized for running services with it's NUMA design for SMP, not to
mention a more robust network stack designed for high load.

Interesting Ian can u elaberate on that I was not aware of any additional
priority handling in 2k3 that XP doesnt have.
