ASP.NET Performance on Win2k3

[Michael S. Collier]

I'm trying to find an article showing the performance difference between an
ASP.NET application running on Windows 2000 vs. Windows 2003 (IIS 6). I
found it in the past, but I'm not having much luck now. I know that ASP.NET
apps are supposed to run faster on Windows 2003, but I would like a good
article to show to others (and a good reference for myself). Any help would
be greatly appreciated.


Thanks!

Hi Michael:

There is some comparison between 2000 and 2003 in the following
document, including benchmarks from 1,2,4,8 CPU systems:

Thanks for the link.

The article I'm referring to was an MSDN Magazine article, I believe. It
had graphs of an ASP.NET 1.1 application on Windows 2000 vs. an ASP.NET 1.1
application on Windows 2003. Basically it showed how much improvement could
be expected by running on IIS 6.

Thanks,
Mike

Hmm, I sort of remember that.

By any chance was it the Pet Store reference application?
