After the plan was implemented and executed, Average CPU usage dropped from greater than 75% to less than 2%. Memory consumption dropped from peaks of 80% to 100% down to less than 20% peak. Because of these improvements, and other similar suggested changes, the application’s speed, responsiveness, and overall usability were greatly enhanced.
