Clustering has nothing to do with performance of SQL Server. It is a
hardware fail over technology only. You need to do some investigation to see
what the issues are. These should get you started:

Hi all,
i have a 2-node cluster with SQL 2000. I've received many complaints
about the performance. My users tell me that the server is very slow.
The boxes are new (2 cPu Intel Xeon 2'8 GHZ and 4 Gb RAM, ...)
I have used PerfMon to see tipical counters and have seen about 100
page error/sec in memory counter.

In task manager i can see CPU about 4% CPU time and the system has
about 1'5 Gb RAM free.

How can i increase the performance? How can I review my cluster
configuration to get a better situation? I'm new in clustering and i
want to know how can i do it. URLs, all...

Thanks for your help
