SQL 2000 / 2005 comparison on Sharepoint Portal Server

Microsoft just released a testreport comparing SPS running on SQL 2000 and SQL 2005.


Shortly said, SQL 2005 makes SPS perform better on every aspect, but most notably is the 51% increase in Requests Per Second performance (on a Small Web Farm).
