    Process that performs compresison in IIS

     Hi,

     We are experiencing high CPU of worker processes in IIS 6.0.  We have dynamic and static compression enabled.  I suspect that the high CPU is not due to compression since the baselining that we did prior to and subsequent to enabling compression did not show any significant increase in CPU load.  What I would like to know if which process actually performs the compression.  If it is not w3wp.exe then I know it isn't the compression causing the high CPU.

    Cheers,

    Jeremy.

    IIS 6 worker process uses a dedicated thread to proceed compression, so if w3wp.exe uses high CPU, it is possible that static/dynamic compression consumes too much resources.

    If the high CPU process is another one, then compression is not the cause.
