ngen install - a very long time

[belial]

Hi!

I've been working with ngen.exe for a long time. there is the first time, when i've got the problem:
ngen the libraries on one client workstation takes a veeery long time

see log:
02/01/2009 11:21:28 [2552]: Command line: C:\WINDOWS\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v2.0.50727\ngen .exe INSTALL C:\Ngen.tmp\cmnDokumentySprzedazy.dll
02/01/2009 11:21:28 [2552]: Installing assembly C:\Ngen.tmp\cmnDokumentySprzedazy.dll
02/01/2009 11:21:44 [2552]: All compilation targets are up to date.
02/01/2009 11:21:44 [2552]: ngen returning 0x00000000

usualy it takes 1-2 seconds. in this case 10 - 20 seconds for each library. ngen all dlls - 2 h

machine configuration is:
IBM eServer BladeCenter HS21
CPU 2 x Intel Xeon 5450 (3,00 GHz) - 8 core
RAM 12 GB
HDD 2x140 (RAID1)
System Windows Server 2003 Ent.x32 R2 SP2

very interesting thing:
the slower machine the faster ngen process (intel core 2, 2gb ram - ngen all dlls - 10 minutes)

any ideas?

Is it perhaps just an issue with dual cpu computers?
At any rate you only have to run it once, so it shouldn't be a huge problem?

the problem occurs for 8 core computers only. for 1-2 core is ok

we suppose there is a problem with ibm computers. to compare: dell machine with almost the same configuration and everything is ok

unfortunatly it's a HUGE problem for us. we install the newest version of our product once a week, so installation takes 2-3 h per week (it coud be 10 minutes per week)
