We tested RTScale about a month ago and it showed no improvements -
actually when it did one of the later optimizations - it slowed the
whole beast to a crawl where we had to do an emergency logout all users
and pull RT off. That was scary.
I disabled HT about an hour ago, updated the BIOS and removed the /3g
switch. Will see how it goes tomorrow when it starts being used...but I
have my doubts.
I will have one of my techs check out appsense tomorrow as well.

with that much mem being taken up by the accounting app per user alone,
it might be worthwhile looking into something like AppSense? I seem to
recall that (i think) Mr Ron Roggly ( :) ) posted there was a util you
could run on your server, you send it to them and they tell you how much
the program would help you - but I cant find the url now :(
On the other hand, it could possibly be the hyperthreading, isnt it
supposed to take quite a hard performance hit (comparatively) if it
guesses whats going on wrong?
(More straws please! :) )

We have a new 2003 TS with under 50 users but we are having a bit of a
difficult time locating the source of the overall system slowdowns. Is
there a way to pinpoint the exact cause of a problem slowdown? The
programs used on the TS are office 2003, QBooks and other accounting
programs (which is the bulk - each session consuming 60-130mb for the
accounting program @ each user). From what we see, the network
bandwidth is non-existent, drive speed/access is low but the CPU spikes
randomly on this dual xeon 3ghz on a dell PE6650. RAM is 3g,
hyperthread enabled, RAID 1/5, all data on server and apps loaded on TS.
We are just about to contact a third party to pin this down or MS PSS
for I feel me are missing something here - just not sure what. We are
running the MS service perf advisor now to see if we see anything. One
of our techs did check the PTE and recently added the /3g switch for
checking if it helps.
