This was an excellent beginner’s article. Performance tuning is an art in itself.

It’s particularly confusing when your first starting out, as there is such a wide variety of issues to consider, not only in identifying which measurements are important but also identifying the correct measures to take to improve performance.

The article has also encouraged other users to post their experiences and knowledge of performance tuning which will also be useful for the beginner.

I look forward to reading the next article.
