Let SQL Server tell you which queries take the longest to run. The following query returns the five longest-running queries. You can change the TOP 5 to whatever number best meets your needs.
SELECT TOP 5 t.TEXT query,
stats.max_elapsed_time
AS MaxElapsedTime,
FROM sys.dm_exec_query_stats stats
CROSS APPLY sys.dm_exec_sql_text( s.sql_handle ) t
ORDER BY
s.max_elapsed_time DESC
If you have a hot tip and we publish it, we'll pay you. However, due to accounting overhead we no longer pay $10 for a single tip submission. You must accumulate 10 acceptable tips to receive payment. Be sure to include a clear explanation of what the technique does and why it's useful. If it includes code, limit it to 20 lines if possible.
