Sounds like something is not tuned properly somewhere. Another Onion that needs a damn good peeling!
Download the DPMonitor on both of these puppies, and then you can realistically compare volumes of I/O, volumes of CPU, volumes of memory, etc... in an "apples to apples" sort of comparison of sorts. Once you have it peeled and profiled, you will then have the technology required to put it all back together properly, so that it will scream like a "raped-ape" as they say. Not only that - you can monitor what ever changes you make along the way and clearly see if they help, or hurt your cause, and why. See my other reply to the "Performance Degraded..." thread. When you peel all the layers off these tight, nasty onions, and understand what's going on at all the different levels - it make it easy to identify, address & resolve these problems - and monitor them proactively going forward as changes occur, growth/shrinkage happens, or additional processes / users come into the mix. UV applications, properly tuned and configured on their platform, should run extremely well, price/performance-wise. Been there, done that. Many times over.
