SSMS Slow to Response

  • Just upgraded our disks to 2400 IOPS during the weekend, with logs on one drive and data another. But server is slow again somehow - mostly the ssms takes forever to collapse on object explorer. The CPU is constantly under 50%, total computer Memory usage is at 87%, and I/O reponse is under 10 ms according to Resource Monitor. 

    Avg Wait in ms:
    PAGEIOLATCH_UP     41
    PAGEIOLATCH_SH       1
    PAGEIOLATCH_EX     34

    Our web team complains about slow web responses, too.

    What can be wrong? Still the I/O issue? Where should I look?

  • You've checked everything, except network traffic and response. 
    I generally see the same issue when connecting from continent to another, then there's a delay in object explorer visual response.

  • Thanks, Henrico. I did check with our network guy when the system looked bad, but he thought the network was fine. Also, the SSMS was very slow at times even when I RDP'ed into the server. When SSMS object explorer was slow to collapse, sometimes it was still quick to execute sp_who2, but then it can take forever to execute it sometimes, too.

  • After some research, I think I may have tempdb contention problem. Made 8 equal sized tempdb files. Will see how that's going to pan out.
