  Quetion about web garden Reply Contact Hello All,  In my website, after users logged in, i read an xml file to setup the profile of that user for default.aspx page. When i increase my number of worker process to > 1, then i cant go anywhere after login the page. My page doesnt moves to next page... Well what i m thinking is , the website has to read values from the file and store them in session varaibles , since in default page , if there is no session set then it wont be processed. So some how that file is not being read when i set the worker process to 2 , 3... how to handle this situation or what you guys think?

  Re: Quetion about web garden Reply Contact In most cases a web garden will not improve performance and may in fact cause problems such as resource contention. Under normal circumstances they should not be used.  There's probably no reason that you would benefit from a web garden. http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/WindowsServer2003/Library/IIS/57fd3d02-9b05-4b3f-8c3a-f326ff895ab8.mspx?mfr=true As a best practice, create Web gardens only for Web applications that meet the following criteria: • The application runs multi-instantiated, so that a different instance of the application can be assigned to each worker process. • The Web application is not CPU-intensive. If the CPU is the bottleneck, then adding worker processes cannot help improve performance. • The application is subject to synchronous high latency. For example, if an application calls a back-end database and the response is slow, then a Web garden supports other concurrent connections without waiting for the slow connection to complete.

  Re: Quetion about web garden Reply Contact You have to use out-of-proc session state (Session State Service or SQL) if you use Web Gardens. Why do you use a Web Garden in the first place? There are only a few instances where Web Gardens make sense.

To increase performance during peak hours; instead of request being waiting for worker process to be available, i thought to make use of garden. Isnt this right approach?   Regards

Handling 20 customers in a single Application Pool is a piece of cake for IIS. The IIS server on my laptop can handle 3000-4000 requests a second. I doubt that 20 customers can generate this kind of traffic.   Thomas Deml Senior Program Manager Internet Information Services Microsoft Corp.
