A couple of days ago I was to install SQL Server 2012 Standard for a client because their management software company said they had out grown SQL Express and needed to move to a full version. They were experiencing extreme delays (10-15 minutes) to pull up a form that use to take 1-2 minutes. The SQLServer.exe was always at 1.5GB~ system memory in use. So I did a server backup. Installed the SQL 2012 Standard and upgraded the previous database to it. After a day of use the SQLServer.exe is only using 33MB~ of memory and they said the delays are actually worse then before. I have checked the min and max memory, min is set at 0 and max is set to 2.1TB. Changed it to 2GB min and 20GB max and about half a dozen other variations with a server restart in between each one. The sqlserver.exe will get to 32-33MB and just hover right around that number. Log in 5 or 6 client computers and the memory doesn't increase. They are already wanting me to revert the server to the pre-Standard backup I created. Why is it only using such little RAM compared to the Express version which was hitting the cap the entire time? Is there something I've missed or anyway to tell why such low numbers?
