That's hard to say, because almost every situation is different of course.

But there do seem to be patterns. Sometimes it is something obvious, about not realizing how BIG a sequence of pages is and inadvertantly saturating the primary input/output channel. Or being fooled by the sometimes "too intelligent" behavior of a load balancer. Or forgetting to set the maximum number of parallel sessions allowed by a back-end database engine to a large enough number.

It's funny, sometimes: When you find a problem it almost always is in the last place you looked! Our advice is to keep on looking!
