Long response time at a certain time each week

Our server is experiencing random slowdowns (for specific
inserts, updates or selects) at a certain time each week.
I've checked to make sure something else is not running
and do not see any scheduled jobs during this time. I've
captured a trace file and don't see any reason why it
would take a long time. It is not a busy time on the
server, either.
Any suggestions for some obvious things I could check?
Our environment is SQL Server 2000 with Service Pack 3 on
Windows 2000 with Service Pack 3.
TIA,
Jeanne UngerIs your database configured for auto-shrink? Is there some other activity on
your network that could be causing a slow down?

yesterday. I will find out Sunday night whether or not it
made a difference.
I haven't been able to find anything on the network that
is causing the slowdown, and it is specific to this
particular database. For example, the queries usually
take 0-16 milliseconds but at 00:30 GMT it can take 3-4
minutes. No other applications that run across the
network are affected.
