Just to give you an idea of what were running:

Lawson Software application (ERP package similar to PeopleSoft)

Applications and database are on seperate servers, which are very similar.

800-900 users daily

Around 4:00pm EST EVERY DAY our applications batch job queue is jammed, and we can have 40-50 jobs "waiting" to run. According to "top", we have plenty of free memory available and CPU% never gets below 10 on any of the processors. Is this just too many users pounding away at the application at the same time? database issues? Everyone is trying to say it's memory, but I'm trying to convince them that it is the application.

Thanks for your input.
