    If your finding the standard SCD component of SQL slow, have a look at Todd McDermitts Kimball SCD component.

    I've switched to using his Kimball SCD for a number of reasons. First of all it's faster. As mentioned in the details, it doesn't destroy the dataflow when you need to make changes. Also, it provide a wealth of auditing information. Well worth a look!
