Slow loading ASP.NET application

[Guest Sanjay Pais]

We are setting up our new environment with our hosting providers.

We have a Quad Core Windows 2003 Server with 12 GB RAM

We have a Load balancer with 2 web servers and a database server. The

website and the code are stored on a SAN.

 

The problem we are facing is that the app pool takes very long to load >

20sec

We have another dual core windows 2003 server where it loads in 5 secs. This

is

a 64bit database server at our current hosting provider.

 

 

we noticed that the ASP.NET Web site takes really long to load. When

comparing

it with load tests we did on our current server it loaded in under 5 secs.

To time the load, I recycle the application pool and launch the browser from

my desktop. I also tried launcing the website from the server after making

an

entry in the hosts file.

 

 

I have tried Process Mon, File Mon to try and identify why the application

is taking so long to load. but have not managed to get very far. We did try

and pull out the Enterprise Library assemblies and that did account for 10

secs.

 

 

I also tried moving the code to the local disk, as well as using a different

user

(administrative priveliges) etc.

 

I am running out of ideas and any suggestions are welcome.

 

Let me know if you need anymore information.

 

Cheers

Re: Slow loading ASP.NET application

 

Most of the folks here tend to focus on the desktop side of things, though

you may get an answer anyway. But I suspect you'd do better asking over on

an IIS newsgroup - this is less about 64bit, than it is about .NET.
