&gt;&gt;What steps can be taken to diagnose why there has been an increase in run time and what could potentially be the cause?&lt;&lt;<br />
I am afraid no one has a crystal ball here. &nbsp;This is like calling up you auto mechanic and telling him you car is running slower. &nbsp;You are going to have to provide far more detail that that. &nbsp;

That's a pretty big question and one I doubt you'll get much response to as the whole subject of performance troubleshooting is vast.<br />
<br />
When you say &quot;a sql process&quot; what do you mean?<br />
Have you ran profiler to see what is going on on your system?<br />
Have you checked the windows environment for cpu, ram, disk usage?<br />
Event logs and sql logs?<br />
<br />
If you can provide more info I'm sure we'll help you get there.<br />

When you say "a sql process" what do you mean?
Have you ran profiler to see what is going on on your system?
Have you checked the windows environment for cpu, ram, disk usage?
Event logs and sql logs?

If you can provide more info I'm sure we'll help you get there.
