[dba-SQLServer] SQL Performance

Jim,

The remark I made was really derogatory, because I think you already
have quite a bit on this box.  In addition, you need to make sure you
apply SP3 to your SQL install.  If the problem persists, follow the rule
of thumb, -there are 3 things that can cause such slow performance, -
CPU, memory, or IO subsystem.  The easiest way to see if the first 2 are
an issue is to open task manager and select Processes tab.  Click on CPU
column header a couple of times and see what process other than System
Idle Process may be taking all the CPU.  Do the same with Memory column.
I did observe performance degradation on my laptop (2.6GHz, 1GB memory,
120GB HD) with default and named instances of Personal edition, and
managed to fix it by defragmenting the program files and data and log
devices of master databases on both instances.

Hi Robert:

Thanks for the comments...An example of how slow we are talking about is
6.5
minutes just to display the list of tables from Master DB. Oracle may be
slow but not that slow...

You can also try to load Oracle and DB2 on it, then see who's slower :)

Subject: [dba-SQLServer] SQL Performance

Hi All:

I have just installed a new version of SQL2000 developer on one of my
servers. The sever is not big but has reasonable performance and as I
use it
just for testing... It is 1700Mhz, 1GB RAM, Windows2000 advanced Server
software. It is running a number of applications but all seem happy
together; ASP, JSP, Perl PHP, JSP with IIS and MySQL.

The recently installed MSSQL 2000 runs like a dog; so sloooooow. Nothing
else is affected and it seems to run and run to do the simplest of
tasks.

Would anyone have some insight into what could possibly be going wrong.

Any comments would be greatly appreciated.
MTIA
Jim
