>>Ok, what is slow? The time to start it up, or the time to change db's or >>servers and have all those objects in the IDE?<<
Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. (attempting my best to not sound sarcastic, but it is all slow) I want to reiterate, I am referring to the SQL Express version, not the regular version. I have no idea if they are the same or different code bases and have not used the one that comes with the standard, developer, or enterprise edition of SQL Server 2005. My experience is on one machine that is a couple of years old with *only* 512MB RAM. I have seen it demoed by presenters and it appeared slow on their machines as well. Hopefully it is addressed in the service packs.
