Hi,

I wanted to test and compare performances of Webservices / Assemblies
and Remoting in dotnet using aspnet clients !

I performed a lot of tests and there are the results : (less is
better)

Desktop Pentium 4 1.7GHz 512MB, Win 2000, IIS 5.5 : 4.5 seconds
Server Pentium 4 2.0GHz 1GB , Win 2003, IIS 6.0 : 3.2 seconds
Laptop Pentium 3 1.0GHz 512MB, Win 2000, IIS 5.5 : 2.8 seconds !!!

Can someone explain me this ???

Each PC was in our domain
IIS config is the same
The same user and profile was used to perform the tests

Any ideas ?
 
With remoting and web services the timing results could rely more on
network quality and latency than the processing power of the machine.
Are you on in a spot where you can dedicate the network resources to
testing.
 
I'm unconvinced of these results. Please explain your test cases, control
cases and testing methodology.
 
I know this. Therefor the webservice and the remoting server are both
installed on the test pc (localhost). I do not access the network !
 
I am very surprised too !!!

I used the testcases and methodology of :
http://www.ingorammer.com/Articles/REMOTINGVS.ASP.NETWEBSERV.html

But I tested with my own program.

I can see some possibilities :
- IIS / ASPNET configuration (but I could not find any difference)
- Different Service Pack / patch level (which makes my Desktop/Server slower)
- Security / Authentication

But I do not know how to narrow down the source of the problem !
