Re: Store.exe is taking up all the memory and it freezing the serv

What's your CPU usage at the time things start crawling? Normally high CPU
usage affects system speed more than high memory usage. I mean, when things
start to crawl (eg: take a few minutes for any window to pop up after
clicking), the CPU is too busy doing something (CPU usage is 90% or more).

I'm running Exch5.5 on an old machine (P2 - 350MHz) with 256MB of memory
(don't laugh) to host 25 mailboxes. Store.exe uses 190MB constantly. There
is no significant speed difference between after restart and after running
for months. Nothing slows down to crawl.

Perhaps it is time to call MS PSS.
