aspnet_WP.exe cpu high

[sham]

Hi to all,

I have a web service that is on the same machine as the client apps that are
calling it. I have taken out all my code and each client app makes a call to
the web service and gets back the string "hello". Each client app makes a
request to the web service every 10 seconds.

I have found that the cpu usage for aspnet_wp.exe peaks to 60%. Is this
normal? I also have IIS 5.1.

I am using .net framework 1.1

Sham.

I would say that occasional peaks to 60% are not unusual, but a
consistent, constant value of 60% sounds pretty high to me. How many
clients do you have? Are you sure that your service does nothing else?

Also, note that all web applications run in the same process ASPNET.EXE
(but in different AppDomains). So if you have other .NET web
applications active in the same IIS, they will also increase the CPU
time for this process.

Greetings,
Laurent
