Multi-task
-
I love the way computers multi-task. As long as you do one thing at a time.:mad: Running a database restore that is tying up the computer. CPU 3%, system has 8G memory, maximum ever used 6.3G, maxed out. I even had trouble trying to write this.
What database? SQL Server? MySQL? Oracle?

Being a DBA I have a copy of SQL Server on my desktop. Not the ideal place for a database server. I have SQL memory set to 4G max but something tells me it takes a bit more.

It's not the RAM utilization slowing down your computer, it's the IO operations causing the slowdown. Even your boot will be very slow if you have SQL Server or any other database engine installed.

When this happens to me I try to remove suspected process's affinity from processor one and two, and set the affinity to the applications I am using to just 1 and 2... Regards Amar

Guess what happens when you run Oracle, SQL Server, Interbase & Blackfish on your laptop ...

I know, but I still complain.

Yes, you do get time a cup, or two, of your favourite beverage in the morning ...

Not sure - it takes 15-20 minutes before the logon completes ... hopefully this will work way better on my new machine - which I hope I will actually start using one of these days ;)

What!!!? You actually have all of these installed on your laptop? I thought you are pointing out a possible scenario. :) Don't you have an older desktop/laptop laying around? You have way too much patience... you must be writing some quality code :)

I do ... which is why I have some hope for my new laptop, a thorougly uppgraded HP 8570w The odd thing is that, once everything is up and running, I can actually get pretty decent performance out of the database servers ...

Interesting... I don't know what is you requirement regarding mobility, but I would let everything installed on the older/existing laptop and install the client software on the new shiny HP 8570w and then connect to the older laptop The Database Server (which I would never turn off). :)

I tend to do a wee bit of work outside regular hours - so I bring the development box with me when I leave the office. Work supplies me with the laptop, at home I'm somewhat better equipped ...

Do you need all those engines at startup or only on demand? Maybe just disabling the automatic start of all those greedy databases might improve your boot time? :)

Did that for a while, but lately I need both when I start working - disabling Oracle helped a bit, cutting about 5 minutes of the time required to boot, disabling MS SQL Server didn't make much of a difference. Disabling FSecure made a lot of difference ... but then we're not supposed to do that, so I turned it back on. So FSecure is probably the real culprit, but it behaved well enough before I installed the servers.
