Subject: Windows distributed app
Data layer: SQL Server ( on separate machine )
Middle layer: WebServices on IIS ( on separate machine )
Questions:
1) How much Web Service are faster/slower compared to
other solutions for middle layer. Are there some (
benchmark or similar ) results which can at least
indicate me that figures.
2) How to configure Web Server ( machine resoureces and
Set up ) to get fastes possible Web Server - Web Services
response. The case could be system with up to 200 WinForm
Clients.

Thank you in advance

Go to ingorammer.com. He's done very good books on remoting and has some
tests between WS, remoting, etc and has some benchmarks on his site. I
currently have an app using WS and Winforms and the responsiveness is good.
Depends how much data you're moving accross the Net. I built a compression
extension for my web services and it sped it up considerably on larger
datasets.
