Let's start with: - Is the server also a Windows domain controller? - Have you compared performance of customer/your storage using Crystal Disk Mark? - What FB engine (Classic, SuperServer) are you running? - What FB version are you running? - If SuperServer what is the db page cache size? - What is the db page size? > Another thing I noticed was that FBServer was consuming 25% CPU usage > during deletion. That would not be surprising. Sean
