SYMPTOMS
It takes more time than expected to restore the transaction log files in SQL Server 2000. The transaction log restore operation may take 100 times longer or more than a typical restore operation. For example, you may experience that a 100 MB transaction log file now takes 20 minutes to be restored instead of the 12 seconds that it generally takes on the same system. This symptom is independent of any system workload.

Note You may notice this problem especially in a log shipping scenario because it will probably lead log shipping to run out of synchronization.
