Hey Geoff! Many thanks for the interesting article. I always learn a lot by reading these.

I'd also echo the comments by Raj in that I'd like to know more about what is going on to cause this condition. I have some processes running during the middle of our night which are causing slow-downs of other processing, but I cannot find what is happening during those times. While I'm certain that SQLSERVR.exe that is consuming the CPU, I cannot tell what inside of SQLSERVR might be causing the problem.

Is there a way to discover which process/processes inside of SQLSERVR might be causing this condition?

Many thanks for the informative article!

Larry
