A typical tuning session on a resource-constrained system starts with a search for "low-hanging fruit."  In a CPU-bound database system, it would be the SQL that uses CPU the most, in an I/O-bound system, the SQL doing the most physical reads, and so on. Tuning the TOP statements often allows us to free large portions…
