Re: CPU load due to having drives on a server compressed.

Now that I know what MVP stands for, it seems Dave Patrick is one to
be trusted on this issue alright!

I'll run a perfmon at some point just to have a look, but I consider
the question answered now.

Thanks again,

Aengus.

It does indeed! Out of my respect for Dave Patrick however I decided to
perform my own little test as well as gave a closer inspection to the
article and it doesnt actually cite our situation exactly. Try running a
perfmon test on your server and client after hours to see what you come up
with.

Ok, fair enough...

But the KB article _does_ suggest differently doesn't it? In the case
of decompression, the article says "Compressed files are also expanded
before copying over the network", how could the user's computer do the
work in this case?

Cheers,

Aengus.

Hi again aengus,

I defer to Dave Patrick on this one. :-)
I just ran perfmon on my server and client and setup a quick test to see
what happened and sure enough my client's CPU and IO spiked while the
file
server stayed level.

Thanks Dave!

Hi,

A drive on a Windows 2003 server is compressed and a user is reading
and writing files on that drive over the LAN from his desktop
computer. Which computer is doing the processing associated with
compressing and decompressing the data? Is it the server, or the
user's desktop machine?

Thanks,

Aengus.
