Are you running the Profiler on the same machine as SQL Server? Where is the
Profiler output being logged to? to the same disk as your data and log
files?

Anyway, running Profiler is CPU intensive and has an impact on the
performance of the system. That's why it is not recommended to run Profiler
on busy production servers, unless absolutely needed, for some
troubleshooting.

You might want to start using server side tracing procedures. For more
information on this, read my article at:

We've got a strange result during stress test ..
First, we generate multi threads in order to simulate the multiple
concurrent user
environment.. The performance monitor shows good CPU usage, memories..
and so on..
The response time of DB access is also good.
But, whenever we start up SQL profiler to logging the SQL Server states,
the response time of DB access is dramatically degraded..
(The transaction isolatsion level of these DB Accesses are set by
"read uncommitted", that means.. no locks, no waits..
The result of profiler is
-- very short CPU
-- very low Disk Read
-- high duration time...
EX)
duration    cpu           disk i/o
5360 0 595
5570 10 506
4460 20 672
I don't understand this result.
Is there any secret for SQL Server Profiler ?
