Performance Question

Newbie question on SQL, running 8 processors with 8GB of RAM. All but maybe
500MB of RAM is showing in use on Task Mgr with sql.exe only using
approximately 200MB. Nothing appears to be using the RAM, anyway or any idea
what is taking up all of the memory?
Thanks, Sean

Make sure you have checked "show processes from all users" and then click on
Mem Usage to make that column order...

Performance problem

HI, I have a performance problem with one of my set of packages. They run fine on dev machine but much slower on test server which has twice (8gb) the memory of my dev server (4gb). The first time I run the set of package they execute in less than a minute which is normal. But subsequent executions in same conditions (tables are empty) takes 2-3 minutes. When I restart Sql server 2005, the loading time is back to less than a minute.

I enables the "use awe" for memory beyond 4 gb on test server and while executing, total memory is far beyond the 8gb of test server and on the four available processors, only one seems to be used. Also, deployment on other machines have no problems. We rebuilt the test server (re-installed windows, Sql server 2005, SP1 and patches) with no luck.

I would like to monitor the problem using performance monitor and Sql server profiler, is there some specific counters or trace events that I should focus on? My set of packages (one main package calling several execute package tasks) load approximately 100K lines and they are deployes on file system.

Thank you,
Ccote

Not sure about the cause of your problem. I would sugest to enable package logging and compare execution logs between server and try to identify possible botle necks.

Also there is an interesting document about performance tunning:
