So you want both raw performance and ease of use?
Yes, thank you, That would be nice ;-)
My webservice will be providing partners worldwide with
realtime price quotes on financial instruments (stocks,
futures, fx, etc) and naturally I want it to be as fast as
possible. I have experimented with a version in
WSE/ASP.NET/C# and a version in ATL Server and my ATL
Server version runs approximately a thousand times faster
than the ASP.NET version. And the ATL Server uses an SSL
encrypted channel with client certificate mapping, which
the ASP.NET version does not.
However, I do not believe that ASP.NET is actually that
slow. I must be doing something wrong (although all my
ASP.NET webservice does is return a string "Hello" +
username"). A single call takes about a second to
complete...
Any input on what I might be doing wrong in my ASP.NET
version?
