Vaibhav Kamath writes "I have a web-based application written in SQL Server, VB 6 (COM) and ASP

Over a period of time (1 week) the application tends to slow down (not drastic) at which point I start/stop SQL Server, kill dllhost. This betters the performance.

I have looked at the following

Profiler, to see if there are any SPs that are taking a long time
CPU usage
Memory usage
Network Bandwidth Utilization
We use SQL XML, hence looked at the SQL XML queue length
Some more parameters in Performance Monitor, like Disk Read / Write times

also on the Application Server (ASP) followed the same

I did not find any peaks or anything that is eating up resources most of the resource usages are between 20 to 40% range

Is there something I have missed?
Can we say with the above information that SQL Server is fine (no tuning required) and it has to be COM or the front-end code that is messed up?

My understanding is that a slow down is caused due to lack of resources, but in this case the CPU and memory usages are way below the 50% mark.

I have read some of the performance tuning tips on this site but before I try some of those I want to know a way to identify where the problem is. Right now I am fighting a battle with an unknown enemy.

Thanks,
Vaibhav"
