We are trying threadmaster to throttle the CPU and stop the
bleeding....for now.  We spoke with the vendor of the program and they
even admit they see this happen and their response was they "close the
program re open".   Hmmm...sounds like bad programming to me (although I
am not a programmer)

Hi,

More than a little bit of sense. 

The /3GB switch drops the paged pool size ceiling from 270 MB to 110 MB,
so if you've got any file handle leaks etc on your system, its going to
drop dead that much sooner.

I wouldn't recommend you do it at all.

Regards,

Rick

would make more sense to remove the 3GB switch for a TS...surely?

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.
