Did anyone observe a lower performance after SP 3
installation on a SQL Server 2000? And what could be the
problem?

Thanks in advance.

PS This phaenomen (slowing down) was observed on other
servers too (with Service Pack 2 installed before) after SP 3 Setup (but I can't verify if there
are the same simptoms)"

Keep in mind that service pack 3 is cumulative, which means that it includes service pack 2 already so even though you never installed it, it's already there.

Another poster is having the same problem, so you might consider going back to service pack 2 and just installing the latest security patch. Both service pack 3 and service pack 2 with the latest security patch protect you from the SQL slammer.
