I have an application that sequentially works its way through a 700MB database over and over. I see the CPU utilization is 52% and the system idle time is 48%. My uneducated guess is this is a result of slow memory access times. I have squeezed the database into RAM to get away from slow HD access times, about a 10:1 improvement there.
I would like to take advantage of some of those CPU cycles that appear to be waiting for new data. Is there anything I can do to speed things up?
Dell 8400, 3.6GHz P4 CPU, 1 GB of PC2-4200 RAM, 250 GB SATA HD, 925 chip set.
