Thought I throw in my post from the forums into this mailing list: Just wanted to give my results on this test I did. First the story. I will be hosting sites on my server and decided to go with .NET/Win2003, with IIS. Well most sites are php based or perl with mysql backend. After configuring everything I gave it a test from another system externally. i did that and noticed it was slow. Slower compared to the linux box I currently have the site on for testing purposes on another provider. Heck even while statements without hitting the DB were giving delays that were over 10 seconds!
Wooa I couldnt believe it. So I decided to add a code snippet to get the seconds of script execution. I did this off a query with 12 results that echoed out into html. Now with Linux I came up with numbers like: 0.0163360 The above number was pretty consistent. Now onto Windows 2003 .NET. On the same page with the same output: 2.6936080 0.9500151 4.9112860 0.6226690 0.6032619 Wooa!! But this cant be true. I have had Win2k host php sites before and it seemed faster then .NET. But these are the results so far. So with this my thoughts of cause are: a) Windows just plain sucks with open source b) .NET doesnt seem to allow cgi, only ISAPI. Perhaps ISAPI is slowing it down c) In Linux Im using Apache, where in Windows Im using IIS d) The .NET OS is a beta and that could be the issue e) My code just sucks. But why would it be faster on Linux then? Any thoughts on the possibilities I have shown here? The Chaos __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
