This can start from parameters to database layout to operating system configuration, used filesystems, mount parameters... - Different Operating System The same goes for operating systems, a standard Windows 2000 (or 2003) isn´t configured for optimal throughput, there is a LOT to tune, e. g. enable "background process priorities", stop non-needed services, network configurations (TCP window sizes) etc. Also the connection between application and database servers can be an issue - SAP Itself Almost for each and every long running program there are
optimizations, be it on ABAP layer or on selection layer. Out of my experience,
most self developed programs (Z*-programs) are the main issue, because
developers program "quick-and-dirty"
For e.g.:
This can't be answered generally. One need to check what process is using so much CPU - then one can start digging deeper. To add info regarding this issue, you may use: st06->details analysis menu->snapshot analysis->top CPU from there, start to narrow down. As you see there is not a quick button to press on and
everything will be well. A good start can be the book
