We just got a new server and are running W2k and IIS5.0 on it. I migrated my pages over and set up the odbc's and low and behold it is slower than dirt. Its an internal web so I have no choice on what software to use. The original server was NT4 IIS4 on a P200 with 128 ram, now its 3-Piii 700 with 1 gig of ram NT5 iis 5.0.
I thought we were buying better or at least equal speed. I am at a loss to find out what happened. Any advice on where to look? We run ASP and html from oracle 8.

THanks

I bet im in the wrong forum, sorry about that if I am.

I use IIS 5 and WIN2k Advanced and it's like lightning. (PIII 600 on 512MB RAM)

I have you moved the page file to a different drive, that can help. Also, try using compression on your static pages.

Run perfmon to find the bottleneck.

Is your Oracle dbase on a remote server? If so, can the slowness be related to a network bottleneck?

The slowdown occurs before we even get to the oracle server. A regular index.htm is about 30 seconds in coming accross our intranet. whereas its a bout a second with the old servers. Is there something specific I can be looking for in perfmon>? There seems to be quite a few things I can watch, with the old servers we watched mostly ASP requests queued, once those started queueing everything would come down.

Thanks for replying.

This might be a good place to start.

1. running the pages from a diff. browser.i.e netscape vs. IE
2. try accessing the webserver directly using the IP address? any difference?

You can only tweak so much and then you dump iis and reload. Gee it works fine now.


3 pIII 700's would go max cpu after about 5 minutes. Even if i unplugged the lan cable. Back in business now.
