Why would .NET code run slower on a 3GHz Xeon box versus a 1.2Ghz

Rob

We are an ASP and are converting our application from VB to VB.NET. Our web
farm is a mix of older dual processor 1.2GHz servers and newer dual processor
3.0GHz Xeon servers. When we originally got the new 3.0GHz boxes our VB code
thrived on them, dramatically outperforming our 1.2GHz boxes at every load
level. Now with the .NET code it appears that under light to moderate load,
our 1.2GHz servers are out performing our 3.0GHz boxes. Any ideas what may
be causing this?

After much ado, it appears part of our issue may be related to
hyperthreading. I might reccomend folks using spiffy new hyperthreading
chips try running a perf test with hyperthreading turned off.

The other part of the problem appears to be communicating with a Windows
2000 server for session information. Once we upgraded the box to 2003 we saw
a huge performacne gain. What is intersting about the win was that it
affected the performance of our .NET code more than our VB code? Odd.

Better performance, 1 Xeon 3ghz or 2 P3 1.3ghz?

by: Mike | last post by:

Right now I run mysql and apache together on a dual p3 1.3ghz box. I will be moving mysql to a second box, eather an identical dual p3 box or spending a little more and going for a single Xeon 3Ghz (these are the only two options I have). I'm thinking of hanging the db box behind the webserver using a gigabit crossover. Since I mostly read cached data, I'm leaning towards the dual CPU box so that when I have a long running query thats...

.NET app running slower on Xeon than Pentium M?

by: Rob R. Ainscough | last post by:

I have two computers running the exact same application against the exact same database (in this case a local MS Access database). One PC is a dual Xeon 3.06Ghz 1MB cache with 2GB of memory and 10,000 rpm SATA drives (two). The other PC is a laptop (Sony) with a Pentium M 755 (2Ghz, 2MB L2 cache), 1GB ram and 100GB HD. I was expecting the Xeon desktop PC to clearly out perform the Sony Laptop,

Problem With Comparison Operator <=> in G++

Hello folks, I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".

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,...
