• Nope. That sounds pretty abnormal. I'd be concerned that there was something wrong with the server or the SQL Server instance. Check the configuration to ensure that you have memory configured correctly and that it's getting seen by the instance as expected, that you don't have an setting for processor affinity or something in that area. Not sure exactly, but I'd go through the whole thing to validate it.
