I have a problem in our Prod env. There is this intermittent degradation of performance two to three times per week and it prevents the website from functioning – becomes very, very slow. Using your sp, “sp_whoisactive”, I notice a lot of ASYNC_NETWORK_IO wait type for the login acct that the web server is using to access the db. This coincides with the perf degradation. Also, recently, I noticed that I get error 7886 and
The following msg in event log:

A read operation on a large object failed while sending data to the client. A common cause for this is if the application is running in READ UNCOMMITTED isolation level. This connection will be terminated.

I know that ASYNC_NETWORK_IO means that the client isn't absorbing the rows fast enough. I need to know what the client was doing, i.e. actual stored proc, or process that caused this w/o impacting performance.

Please help.

Thanks
Dan
