Project server 2002 vs. Project server 2003

[Robert]

I have a MSP server 2002 implementation currently that seems to be running
fine for the most part. Problem is that it is very slow when a user opens a
project that has been published on the server (It's been like this since day
1 back in 2003). The server power and network bandwidth are plentiful but it
can still take anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes to open a program.
These programs are not complex, either - maybe 100 tasks or so max.

I'm wondering if someone can comment on the speed at which programs open on
server 2002 vs. server 2003. I've heard through the grapevine that 2003 has
made improvements in this area. Any other must-have new features in 2003?
I'm trying to build a justification to upgrade to 2003. Thanks.

Robert

Hi,

Project Server 2007 is coming out in about Q3 and it has had a lot of work
done on it for performance, scalability and has added many new and useful
features. Can you hang on until then?

It will still be needed to migrate the database to 2003 before
migrating to 2007 - you could use this as justification.
