I'm thinking it may be a disk io issue. Check resource monitor to check for a raising disk queue. Can you put your db on a different internal drive?

Very well could be; hard to tell with so little info up front.<br />
<br />
Also look at tempdb set up. &nbsp;Make sure you have more than one data file, and/or that all data files on tempdb are exactly the same size.<br />
<br />
As an aside, limit SQL to using only 10G or so, since Exchange is using so much memory ... that is *not* your problem now, but it could easily become a big one in the future if you don't do that.

We have a server that's running SBS2011 (41GB Exchange Database) and a Propietary custom designed SQL database (~ 1.6GB)<br />
<br />
The Server is a T610 Xeon X5670 2.93 with 24GB Memory<br />
<br />
In Task Manager it's showing Exchange using around 14GB of memory and SQL using a little under 3. &nbsp; There are about 10 desks at the office accessing the database all day and occassionally complain about database running slow. &nbsp;I'm assuming it has something to do with the memory utilization.<br />
<br />
Any recommendations outside of getting a 2nd server to host the SQL database?

Small Business Server (SBS) is a line of server operating systems targeted at small businesses by bundling the operating system with a number of other Microsoft products that would normally need to be purchased or licensed separately. The most notable inclusions are Exchange, SQL Server, SharePoint and ISA/TMG (Microsoft's firewall and proxy server).

Exchange is the server side of a collaborative application product that is part of the Microsoft Server infrastructure. Exchange's major features include email, calendaring, contacts and tasks, support for mobile and web-based access to information, and support for data storage.
