Please could you give me a few pointers....

I have two instances of MSSQL running on the same server. One's really slow.
I know this because I have copied a database from one to the other and run them side by side.

The slow instance has 1-5 users on it. The fast instance has just one (me). Therefore I don't think it's a resource sharing issue.

The instances are running on a file server. The fast one has the sharepoint database on it (which isn't being used). I guess it was set up when they installed sharepoint server. My NetAdministrator didn't want me to use it for production databases so he set up this new instance on a different drive, and he says it's exactly the same.

I'm a novice at DBAdmin, so please tell me a few obvious things that I might have overlooked

Thanks
Jason

Do both instances fight for same memory, or do both instances have MAXMEM set correctly?

Run ALTER INDEX REBUILD on each of the indexes or UPDATE STATS WITH FULLSCAN.
