Thanks Jeff,

After I posted I thought about it more and I guess the SAN made it kind of a moot point. Grant basically states at the beginning of the book that most performance issues are related to the query. I guess i was trying to score a easy configuration win. So far query tuning feels more like a art than a science. Going to keep studying and practicing. It feels frustrating sometimes you feel like wow I just solved a major performance problem and then like 2 weeks later its back with a vengeance. You then realize I solved nothing just band aided it. Got my highlighter going to see if I can do another chapter.

Thanks again !:-)
