Lock requests/sec too high?

[DLu]

Hi:

one production server DB is getting slower... (SQL2K sp4 ent)
1. dbcc checkdb(abc) with 0 errors
2. no blocking
3. no abnormal in sql log and event system log
4. only found one crypt32 auto update fail last night.

the Lock Requests/sec is kind high from 5400 to 15400 on 0.01 scale. max is from 57611 to 155411.

Could I increase the locks assigned to sql and what is the best way for it?

thanks
david

That means lot of updates on the server. If queries use proper index then nothing you can do in sql server.
