For some time my primary workplace has been having a problem with SQL Server replication delaying for several minutes at a time which is surprising given the 12GB of RAM and quad processor hardware behind it.
Activity Monitor showed a number of processes on the distribution database used for SQL Serverβs replication were blocked by another process which was in turn blocked by a SQL Agent β TSQL Job executing on the distribution database.
