Config Mach_1 - Demo Machine
Single Machine
Multi-Processors
8GB Memory
Services Run on Domain Account
SAN Storage for data, logs, Full Text Search

Config Mach_2 - Production (Cluster 2 Active Nodes)
Multiple Machines
Each Machine w/8 Processors
8 GB RAM
SAN Storage same as Mach_1
Services run on domain account

Searches and deletes are slow as molassas when performed on Mach_2 (production). We backup the database on Mach_2 (production) and restore it onto Mach_1 (demo) and things run fast as lightening on Mach_1 (demo).

We suspect something with Full-Text Search but we're not sure. Any idea where we can begin troubleshooting on this performance issue?

Thanks in advance for your help.

Maybe due to fact that there is not too much load in Mach_1. Did you run Performance monitor?

We did run the SQL Profiler and narrowed down the performance to one particular stored procedure. We check the execution plan on that one stored procedure but it didn't result in a whole lot of information.

We were hoping to find a missing index or something that would lead us in the right direction to fix it but no avail.

I suppose we can check that same query with the PerfMon Tool.

You can use DMV sys.dm_missing_index_details to find missing index if any .
