Performance Issue in 8.8

Having worked on 2005 & 2007, we never faced performance issue. Installation is simple and smooth.

While I did a fresh install of 8.8 PL9 on Win-2008 and Sql-2008 (RAID5 server Xeon 4GB RAM),

installation is not smooth as earlier versions. Now it is successfully installed but performance

of client is too slow. It took 5-10 minutes to connect the company. No firewall on client and

server. There is only one network card on server.

Does anyone face this issue?

Anyone has experience of 8.8 on Win-2003/SQL-2005?

Please update.
