Set Statistics Time oddity.

  • Anyone ever seen it do this?

    SQL Server Execution Times:

    CPU time = 942904 ms, elapsed time = 424792 ms.

    I'm assuming that's due to parallelism, but that's the first time I've seen my CPU go for longer then my elapsed did.

  • Parallelism. If the query paralleled 4-ways and spend a total of 2 seconds executing on each processor that's a CPU time of 8 seconds while it may have only taken 3 or 4 real-time to complete.

  • I would have figured parallelism too - it's good to know though.
