I have a dedicated SQL Server 2005 Workgroup server with Rackspace (RAID 1, which obviously needs to get changed). It's been running relatively smoothly and the last time I traced it (a couple of weeks ago), there were no significant issues. I run a reindex and I reboot every single night, and have built many indices on the tables using Analysis Services.

We move a ton of data in a single day, and the users were complaining of lag, which appeared related to this server. After running a trace, I noticed:

- my normal SPs were taking roughly 5-20x the normal duration and many were timing out
- I was frequently running SPs directly on the server that gave me transaction deadlocked on resource errors
- some of the tiny, quick calls made in the trace were showing as impossible, astronomical durations! Like things that should be "3"ms were showing up as "81544123941234123478090"ms

Is it corrupted?

HELP!

- The installed Service Pack is SP1
- The 2 GB memory was showing maxed out, though not sure that matters in 2005
- CPU was spiking
