This is sticky that is for sure. How much RAM on the server? Are there multiple instances to combine similar DBs in a group? Is the MAX server ram seeing on box set to default? Is the server pagenating swapping to disk for more ram?
Are there a certain combination of DBs in use with queries across dbs hat have subsets of data in the where clause? What is the backend, local RAID or SAN? What is free space on the log as well as database drives? Is logging turned on all over the place and if it is has it EVER been used in the last 5 years? Is there log shipping on the primary database(s) ? A NIC was already brought up and it could be that as well? Are there multiple NICs if the backend is really a SAN? You may have an issue with the SAN NIC as I did a year+ ago.
