Any recommendations on what to do? I'm experimenting with disabling TSO
right now, but it's too early to tell if it fixes my problem.

On my 9.2 box, we don't see this number climbing. With TSO off on 10.0, I
also see the number is not climbing.

I'd appreciate any links you may have so I can read up on this.

Thanks for the comment.
