Re: performance: store.exe uses 579Mb only out of 4Gb

What's the design speed of your storage (disks)?

Your boot.ini has the 3GB switch with /Userva=3030 which is a good step.

There's also other memory optimisations you can consider here:

I'm guessing here it's the speed of your storage that is the issue when
looking at the size of your edb and stm files and the amount of users
accessing them.

How are the LUNs configured on the 'NetApp SAN using iSCSI(ms software
initiator'

I have an exchange 2003 sp2 server that seems to be having a lot of free
RAM
~2.8Gb out of 4Gb and the boot.ini file is as below. Should I have so much
free RAM is the server hold hundreds of mailboxes? store.exe is using only
579Mb - the machine has two 2.8Ghz Zeon processors and stores its data on
our
NetApp SAN using iSCSI(ms software initiator).

my boss is constantly complaining of slow speed when moving e-mails etc
and
from what I can see in the exchange user monitor the maximum server
latency
in ms is 71; the database is 63Gb(edb) and the accompanying stm file is
16Gb
and holds 115 mailboxes. there is another database on the server that hold
175 mailboxes limited to 300Gb, which is 10Gb plus 3.6 for the stm file.

[boot loader]
timeout=30
default=multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS
[operating systems]
multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(2)\WINDOWS="Windows Server 2003,
Enterprise" /fastdetect /3GB /Userva=3030 /NoExecute=OptIn

is the file configured OK?
