Performance Hits within EM After Upgrading OS to Windows 2003

We have recently upgraded 4 SQL servers to Windows 2003, running SQL Server
2000. Many people are complaining that Enterprise Manager now takes 4-20
seconds to expand the databases on those servers, where before it was either
instant or 1-2 seconds. Once the intial connection has been made, there are
no further performance issues. Do you know if there is a fix, or have others
experienced this slow performance after the upgrade?
We have compared user desktops' memory, processors, hard drives, etc, and
there is no trend there.
We would appreciate any advice before moving forward w/ our other servers'
upgrades!
To answer my own question, in case others have experienced this, there was a
database with the "AutoClose" option checked. This was causing the
performance hit in Enterprise Manager after we upgraded to 2003. For
whatever reason, this did not cause problems on a 2000 OS, but definitely
caused issues on 2003 OS.
Resolution, just went into properties for the database and unchecked it.
This increased performance back to its original state. We now have a script
that checks and ensures database properties are set correctly.
Hope this saves someone else out there the headaches we went through trying
to determine the performance issues after upgrading to Windows 2003.
