the most part appears to be tuned very well (ex: 100%
Buffer Cache Hit Ratio, Processor Queue Length of 0, etc)
however I am getting an average 'Stolen Page Count' (from
the Buffer Manager Object) of 7,000. I know the
definition of what a 'Stolen Page Count' is (ie page in
buffer cache taken for other server requests), but, how
can I determine why my Stolen Page count is so high and who is taking them?

Thanks in advance!
Dave."

If you have a lot of queries, using merge or hash joins? Tru to put a LOOP JOIN hint on those, and see if the Stolen Page Count will go down...

Here is an article that mentions this:
