We have a Sql Server 2005 DB. For whatever reason, the compatibility level (e.g. via sp_dbcmptlevel) is set to 80 (which is Sql Server 2000).
What are the consequences of that? Is there a performance penalty for my apps because of it?

See if this helps: Does running a SQL Server 2005 database in compatibility level 80 have a negative impact on performance?
