Store.exe is using near 100% of processor. I have installed SP4 on the Exchange 5.5 server but it has not resolved the problem. The MTA is building up messages

There is every chance of a damaged or orphaned message in the IS. there are a few ideas on a thread at www.tek-tips.com Exchange 5.5 forum

thread title is: STORE.EXE at 100% utilisation
thread reference: thread10-192895

There are also several MS KB articles on the subject

This is normal behavior. The Exchange IS process (STORE.EXE) expands to use all available memory. It will return that memory to the system as it is needed by other processes.

MemoryUsage of Store.exe Is Higher in Exchange 5.5

If there is a slow down elsewhere, look to lack of physical memory, fragmented page file, corrupt exchange database, anti-virus or backup software problems
