What will you check if a server is performing very slow?

One way to see if your disk is the bottleneck is to stand in front of the server when it’s running slowly. If the disk light looks like the Vegas Strip, or you can hear the drive seeking constantly, you might be disk-bound. For a closer look, you can use the Windows Performance Monitor or the Unix iostat program.
