Have you checked if processor affinity is defined? It could be that only one core is allowed. Also it could be that the disk subsystem is actually the bottleneck so CPU has to wait for the answers.
And what comes to the serial execution, I thing there are at least few possibilities:
- again waiting for disk subsystem
- serial executions is forced because of locking issues
- transactions are ran in serializable isolation level.

Thanks Mika, I will look into it...
In the meantime more information:
- We have a windows application server service connecting to sql server via integrated security on an internal threadpool of 10 threads. Each thread creates a connection when needed, and closes when finished.
- The server is an HP with 2 quad core xeon hyperthreaded (16 processors in windows) with 10k sata raid 5.
- Clients connect to the application server via tcp (no direct connection to sql).

Ok, that's good background info. If you find anything suspicious or more information regarding the problem, let us know

How do you know that the application server is not the one that is queuing them serially?

Fair question, I presume when you have parallel threads each with their own connection they query in parallel.

Seems reasonable as long as you have verified that. And also verified that it is not in some other way serializing requests.

I just spent 2 hours googleing best practices for storing picture's for a asp.net MVC project that I am starting.
There are two school's of thought. One is to store the Picture's in a database (for ease of backup's) Another is to use the site's file system. (For speed)
This project will be for my family.(Very Large Family I might add) I want to keep Pictures Referenced to the user that uploaded them. And only share some of them with other member's
My question: What do You think about storing the file's in the database? And why?
Thanks in advance
Any good resources or link's appreciated

I use the file system but then I have 1000s of images, the economy of backing up the database and moving it to my dev environment alone dictates that I do not want the image files inside that backup. What do I care if the images are trashed on the server, I have less timely backups of them elsewhere, I certainly don't want to move them over the wire every time I take a backup of my data.

That is a good point I don't think I will have that many images but you never know at design time If the project will be a hit with the User's.

I put them in the database, they're safer there. In the file system, someone may overwrite* or delete a file. I don't backup my databases though.

There are few questions that you should have answer to make this decision:
File System:
- Images sizes are smaller than 2 MB.
- No editing required on the images in future
- Faster access
Database:
- Image size is on a higher side 2+ MB.
- Easy maintenance and backup required
There is an another approach of FILESTREAM if you are planning to use sql server 2008.

I just read your article. Interesting so basically all that gets stored in the database is a GUID and correct me if I'm wrong a Hash of the file size? And the file itself goes in the file system? I don't see the benefit in storing the info 2 times. Other than maybe so it can be strongly typed.
Maybe I missed the Point I will reread the article

One of the main points is the transactionality. In case of an error you don't have to worry if the database contains a path to a non existent file or vice versa.
Second thing, backups. When you backup the database you also backup the files. No separate backups.
Thirdly, speed with larger files compared to storing all the binary info inside the database.
And the fourth thing, which I haven't covered very much yet is that you can actually stream the file better to the client when fetching.
I think those would be the main points. All comments are very welcome

So it wil be Strongly Typed" This I like!

This I like Alot!

This should not be a problem, because I Intend to re-size the Images.

This on the other hand I Love. But I will have to learn a bit more about. Looks like Google time!

WHich is more faster to compare values <> or != for performance tunning
thanks in advance

It makes no difference, both are the same.

As said, from performance point of view, they are the same. However, since you didn't mention what database you're using, from syntax point of view there may be differences since not all of the databases understand both syntaxes.

First off get someone who has a better grasp of English to help you with your question b/c what you have written makes absolutely no sense (to me anyway).
