SQL slows outlook

[DoubleD]

When there is a cpu load on the SQL server, it slows all instances of Outlook
2007 running BCM. It even slows what should be just a local task. Is there a
way to keep this from happening or are we going to have to live with it or
just flat out get a better SQL server?

Every client is polling the database once per second or so, so if
sql's slow, everything BCM will be slow.

I noticed that one of the features in SP1 is that they've now
revealing how to change the polling interval through a Registry key,
so you could try increasing that to a minute--unless its really
important to you that other users' changes show up immediately.

How about memory usage? I found that some tasks in Outlook and BCM cause
memory invrease, and it is not released until the SQL Server restart. Please,
verify if your memory useage does not goes over your physical RAM. If so, you
need to limit the RAM usage for SQL instance (MS SQL Server Management Studio)
