W3WP poor performance

On our server the w3wp process is "pagefaulti ng" all the time, but none of
the other processes (and there are some) behave that way.
Page fault delta in TaskMgr shows up to 15000 with normal refresh speed for
w3wp.exe.
Mem usage is 110MB, VM size is 90MB.

Commit charge is about 2GB, physical memory is 4GB, so it's not logical (to
me) why is has to do all this paging.
It seems to make the server perform quite poorly at times.

We're running some vb.net apps on the server. not very big ones.

Is this behaviour normal? What could be the reason for it?
Any help would be appreciated!

HI Helge:

The behavior does not seem normal, it's bad news for a server to be
paging at all.

Are you running all managed (.net) code? You might want to profile the
applications to see where all the allocations are happening.

Hi, i have an ASP.NET project that is using a (Class Library Project) VB.NET DLL. for some reason after running some pages on the web server, and trying to compile the Class Library DLL, it can't compile because the DLL is in use (and the PDB too), and the w3wp.exe process is the process locking the DLL (as viewed with Sysinternals - Process Explorer). this is a huge problem. i need to do IIS reset in order to free the DLL! 1. why is...

I am experiencing high CPU utilization with my ASP.NET application. The w3wp.exe process uses 75%-80% CPU for about 10 seconds. I notice this when the application first starts up, which I can partially understand since ASP.NET compiles the application on the first access. However, I also notice the high CPU usage by w3wp.exe after long periods of inactivity. For example, if I stop using the site for 30 minutes, and then come back to the...

Greetings, We make an ASP.NET web application and we host it for our customers. We have provisioned hardware and hope to be able to service around 200 customers on this hardware. The web servers are in a stateless farm and have 2 GB of RAM. We are using ASP.NET 1.1 when using a dedicated application pool for each virtual directory. Each customer gets their own virtual directory and copy of the ASP.NET dll in their bin folder, which...

Friends, We are preparing for Beta release of a new ASP.NET project, but our initial in-house tests are not going well. We have had W3WP.exe (and aspnet_wp.exe) die, and we feel we can monitor it's death and sometimes get useful information out of the DMP file. But lately, W3WP.exe lives, but appears hung. New request to the application hang unresponsive, existing user sessions are unresponsive, and eventually session timeout and go...

I had a customer call about some C# code they had put together that was handling some large arrays. The performance was rather poor. The C# code runs in about 22 seconds and the equivalent C++.Net code runs in 0.3 seconds. Can someone help me understand why the C# code performance is so poor? I rewote the C# code to use a single dimenional array and the time went down to about 3 seconds, but that's still no explaination as to why the...

Hi, I'm writing an exception monitoring application using CLR interfaces. My class implements ICorDebugManagedCallback. When an unhandled exception happens in an asp net page, my member function Exception gets called by framework. Most of the time everything works ok. Nearly 99.99% of exceptions are notified by CLR. But sometimes w3wp fails with the following message: ..NET Runtime version 2.0.50727.42 - Fatal Execution Engine Error

Hello there, one of my servers is running windows 2003 and IIS 6.0. We have big performance issues on that server and I found out that a high CPU usage iniciated by w3wp.exe causes the problem. I couldn't find out what to do on the server itself. I think it must be the application runnig on IIS. Could a MVP please confirm that this is mostly something that i caused by an application. So that I can give it back to our developers. Thanks

Hello everybody, I'm posting this message because I'm quiet frustrated. We just bought a software from a small software vendor. In the beginning he hosted our application on a small server at his office. I think it was a Fujitsu-Siemens x86 running debian Linux. The performance of the DSL-Line was very poor, so we decided to buy an own machine to host the application ourselves.

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>". The problem is that using the GNU compilers, it seems that the internal comparison operator "<=>" tries to promote arguments from unsigned to signed. This is as boiled down as I can make it.

Overview: Windows 11 and 10 have less user interface control over operating system update behaviour than previous versions of Windows. In Windows 11 and 10, there is no way to turn off the Windows Update option using the Control Panel or Settings app; it automatically checks for updates and installs any it finds, whether you like it or not. For most users, this new feature is actually very convenient. If you want to control the update process,...
