Everyone has seen this, new DBA at new company has 3rd party EMR product that we have AG setup for read only node. Week one on board users screaming. performance for RO node is awful, 2017 Std Edition 12 procs 82 gig of memory. Ran blitzcache and wow 3 sql statements that require over 250 million logical reads (yes that number is correct). CPU gets buried but PLE is not bad but with these 3 statements which have all in common. And yes with the 3rd party not easy to change, other than jumping out window anyone have any great ideas?

Looks multiple problems, query is bad but ran on test system I/o issues in report server. ran blitzio and got some scary results with stall time over 40ms

Sounds like a stupid question but what condition are the index and column statistics in?

RBAR is pronounced "ree-bar" and is a "Modenism" for Row-By-Agonizing-Row.
First step towards the paradigm shift of writing Set Based code:
________Stop thinking about what you want to do to a ROW... think, instead, of what you want to do to a COLUMN.

Change is inevitable... Change for the better is not.

stats and indexes good, looks like this may be a storage issue

We went through that same issue because they went cheap on the RO node storage. They also forgot to do things like change the settings for parallelism, etc.
