Hi Roy,

Thanks for your comments.

Yes we do have the data files and the log files residing on the same drive. I had already recommended adding an additional drive to isolate the data and log files from a performance improvement view point. Probably once this done we will run the Index ReOrganize job and will let you know the results. Then we will know if it is due to a Disk IO problem. We didnt check for blocking (database level) at that point.
