You can Compress most entries in Navision. But be carefull with that. It is very doubtfull that it is causing your problems. It is something that cannot be reversed.!!!!!!!

If you are not sure you should contact a performance specialist.

If your server has only 512Mb of RAM (or less) then that's the real bottleneck. I'd get 1.5Gb at least, that way you can have 700-800Mb database cache and still have lots of room for the OS and other services.

Also what is the SCSI configuration, is it RAID1 or RAID5?
