I have a SQL200 R2 SP2 instance running on a Win 2008 R2 64 bit 24 core server with 24GB or RAM. I limit the SQL instance to using 20GB of the RAM.There is only a single database on this box and it is not real large (less then 10GB). After
restarting the SQLserver serrvice the allocated RAM goes up fairly quickly as queries are run until it tops out at 20GB. The each same query runs in ~1.5 seconds after I restart the SQLserver service and runs in sixty seconds when the 20GB is allocated.
There are no other users on this box when I am testing so it is me and my connection to the database. It almost seems like a memory leak and memory is not being released. I have tried doing the same testing on different servers some that have more
or less RAM but the same version of Windows and SQL and I see similar results. On a few of my server I have to restrat the SQLKserver service daily just so users experience a consistant performance. Any suggestions on modifying configurations?
