Database server.
Windows NT 4.0 Server.
Average CPU utilization is 60%.
1st CPU averages around 90%.
2nd CPU averages around 30%.
Shouldn't NT handle SMP better than this?

Any comments.

Your app needs to be written to take advantage of the multiple procs. Just because you have 2 procs does not mean they will be used.

Have to agree with Post 1. Applications that run on SMP Server should be written to support SMP. Other wise it will utilise only single processor.
