Re: Half the speed migrating from Windows 2000 to Windows 2003

A long time ago I had written a very simple server that uses AcceptEx,

less than half that of the same machine running virgin Windows 2000
Server (with sp4). On w2k, my server gives a speed of ~6700 responses
per second (rps) as opposed to ~3000 rps on the W2k3 machine.

The test configuration:
1.6 G Pentium, 1G RAM. 1000BT ethernet.
Each request/response pair is about 100 bytes each. The socket is
closed after each response.

I have not been able to figure out what could be the reason why such a
drastic drop in performance from an OS that is marketed as given
better performance than its predecessor. I would be grateful if
someone knew the answer offhand.

I ran my server on Windows 2008 server, and it works just like W2k.
Whatever the problem was with W2k3, it has been fixed in the latest
version.
