Running Views on SP2 Slower than SP3

Hi has anybody experienced views running slower on SQL 8 SP2 is slower than
running it on SP3?
I have 1 log shipping report server on SP3 that runs those views with out
problems.
I have another server with Replication running SP2, I find that views runnin
g
on this server has more locks and runs a lot slower. Some reports can't even
finish.
Is there such a big difference in SP3 as it pertains to running Views?
oh btw hardware is the same on both servers.
any help would be greatly appreciated..

optimization (and other performance) problems that still existed in SP2.
That really shouldn't come as a surprise. It isn't as simple as SP3 being
better at running "Views", but rather that some set of your Views likely
have a narrow set of circumstances that versions prior to SP3 didn't handle
well.
Is there a reason you don't upgrade the SP2 server to SP3 (or SP4!)? SP2 is
definitely out of date.
