"When I discover an issue involving a slow running computer system, the first thing I do is review the computer specifications to see how it should be functioning. I then evaluate its current performance and determine the variance. Once I know the scope of the issue, I begin reviewing the likely root causes starting with the simple and obvious ones and working through more complex and difficult issues. At some point in the process, I uncover the cause of the issue and remediate it. This procedure has been very effective throughout my career."
