We have an Intel Xeon 2.8GHz Dual-Quad Server, it's basically one of our SQL 2005 Servers. I am having issues with it running slow and unresponsive. The CPU usage chart in Task Manager is constantly going up and down however under the processes tab - it indicates it's mostly idle. Paging issue? I have attached a screendump of Task Manager below. The process "mssearch.exe" has an extremely high "I/O Reads" count, is this normal?
On this server alone, we have several databases but only one which is accessed constantly. Its size is ~70GB with ~250 users. Where's the best place to look for problems, performance seems to be deteriorating as data grows.
