Hi

We have a application with Framework 1.1 and Vs .NET 2003.
the application has a service with pooling; like a
File system Watcher, but works.

the system works fine in the development enviroment with
a performance very good; but production not.

We changed machine.config and nothing.

The performance in production is very slow, the system is WIN 2003.


DEVELOPMENT ENVIROMENT: WIN2000 - SQL SERVER 2000

PRODUCTION ENVIROMENT: WIN2003 - SQL SERVER 2000

What can i do?

Ideas



The application has a service with MultiThreading. For each task
starts a Thread.
 
Hi,

It's not a good idea to post your entire code, nobody will read it
completely ( most of the us people are in the office :) )

Which is the slow part?

Did you check if you may have any sync problems, like two threads
reading/writing the same variable?

what if you try to pinpoint the problem, remove as much code as possible
until you get the method where the performance problem is.
 
thanks

The threads in the server works very slow.

the production server has Win 2003 with SQL 2000.

The problem is; We need more priority for the execution of Threads, because
the process has only a few of CPU.
The program works fine, but very slow.
We need more priority.
ideas?
 
You need to profile the code to see where the slow parts are. Since
the service is reading/writing data to a database I suspect that will
be your bottleneck. Changing the priority of the worker will have
little effect especially if the thread is speading most of its time in
an idle state waiting for the database IO to complete.

If you can post a short, but complete program that demonstrates the
slowness you're seeing we can help. Often times, in the process of
attempting to provide that short program, you'll discover the problem
yourself.

Also, like Ignacio, when all else fails use the process of
trial-and-error by removing and adding back code until you find the
performance problem.

The first thing I'd do is try to reproduce the problem in a console
application. That would be a lot shorter to post, and a lot easier to
debug too.
 
To add what the others, said. It's wrong to set the priority of a thread
above normal, espcially in a service, it won't make your code run faster
anyway. In you thread procedure (ProcessDir) you run an endless loop, which
does't really shows what you are actually doing (the ClasificarData is
missing) except Sleeping for a while! Now, if this is what you call slow,
why did you include the Sleep call, and what amount of time are you putting
this (high priority!) thread asleep?

Willy.
