Store.exe High Memory Utilization

DBA is the algorithm that determines how large the database cache
should be. The cache should be as large as possible without making the
machine page to death. It generally works quite well. But it's not
perfect.

You're running Exchange 2000 as part of SBS 2000. That version had
some known problems with:
-Windows 2000 uniprocessor
-IIRC, Large file caches

You mention 'dual processors', so it's probably not the first problem.

The large file cache can be seen with taskmgr as 'System Cache' (I
think that's what it's called on Win2000 --- I don't have a Win2000
machine here to confirm/deny).

Why is the file cache large? Sometimes it happens if you're running it
as a file server. If you're using it as a file server, is it possible
to offload that onto a different machine?

BTW, you can just stop&restart the store service, you shouldn't need
to reboot.

Exchange 2003 has a better algorithm for determining the cache size,
although that doesn't help you much, since you're not using it.
