    This document provides a checklist for performance tuning a SQL Server. It recommends taking a systematic approach of first establishing a baseline, then applying optimizations to a test server before production. Key areas of concern for performance problems are identified. A range of tools are described for proactive monitoring, live debugging, and post-mortem analysis. The process is depicted in a flowchart showing steps to identify and address problems.

     Use an systematic approach


     Performance tuning is all about Planning
     Proactive, Reactive and Live
     Cycle - Monitor, Plan, Implement, Test

    Remember: 80%-20% Rule. There are always special cases.
