Lack of attention to details; and 2. wasted resources. In Can you be too Thorough? Jason Massie talks about being thorough (a way to have attention to detail), and knowing when to stop in a project (a way to avoid waste of resources). Thomas LaRock offers another twist on the subject with Reproduce, then Repeat. […]

The other thing that’s deceiving about duration is that users with slower computers or slower network connections can skew duration artificially high. If you’ve got an application whose end users are all on slow VPN connections and they’re pulling down big recordsets with, oh, I dunno, Microsoft Access (true story) then the duration will seem high. The queries can’t be optimized any faster, though, because SQL Server is waiting to send the results over the wire. Another good reason to check out wait stats to see the real problem.
