Checkpoint Sleep

  • Hi,

    I'm trying to find information on Checkpoint Sleep and what does it really means. Actually I have this process consuming cpu, but, according to the BOL documentation and Technet, it shouldn't be killed.

    Am I missing something?

    Thanks!!

  • Checkpoints are used to mark items in the log that are flushed out. It will consume some CPU and IO, but most of the time it will sleep. It's a system process that you should not be worried about.
