SI was fast, recently it became slow. Thats all I know really.

Exactly my point! I noticed the slowness also. It didn't cause me to speculate that the SUN/Oracle stuff this site runs on is crap.

Like most everyone in the high end systems business, I think sql server is fine for small and midrange applications and unacceptable for high end mission critical stuff.

I don't remember saying anything about SQL Server other then the site is not running on it. You on the other hand speculate it to be the cause of the recent slowness. At work we run both, choosing what we feel is appropriate for the task at hand.

although I am biased because I worked at Oracle, but my views on SQL server and its place in the market is pretty standard.

I worked at Oracle too in the mid nineties. Besides in depth knowledge of the products of that time, the main thing I learned is embodied in the statement "perception is reality."
