SQL Server 2012 Cumulative Updates typically take about 5-10 minutes to install, depending on the speed of your system. Certainly not 3-4 hours! Most of the time, a reboot of the server is not required. Making sure that SSMS is not running locally during the installation will minimize the chances of needing a reboot.

Not looking for an exact but something I can give to the exec for a downtime. If averages an hour, good if it averages 4 hour ok as well. I just do not want to say 1 hour and it takes 3 every time.

thanks

Note After applying this hotfix, enable trace flag 7470 to make SQL server consider internal data management memory overhead when calculated required memory for sort. This will increase memory requirement for sort queries and avoid spills in the situation explained in the Symptoms section above. Note this may impact memory availability for concurrent queries, therefore it is recommended to use the trace flag selectively.

Any ideas about KB3088480 on data spill for large sorts? What can trace flag 7470 do?

Thanks
