I'm trying to track down the cause of slow performance on an intranet web server. It's IIS5 + Win 2k.
Server response should be fantastic as it's very lightly used and has two 1.3Ghz P3s, 512Mb Ram, etc. I regularly run perormance monitor and the two processors hardly have to do anything.
There are lots of ASPs but very few pages have to read a database. In anycase we have a dedicated SQL Server 2000 running on another lightening fast server on the same LAN. So that shouldn't affect things too much (!)
I looked at the Time Taken field in the W3C Extended log and found many items had taken waaay too long. Usually I would expect a small web page or gif to take a few tens of milliseconds, however we have many taking over 10,000 milliseconds (ten seconds) and one entry in the log even took 95,000 milliseconds!
I suspect it's not a server problem, but a network issue. But I would like to be armed with as much information as possible before going to see the network chaps.
What other things can I monitor, or investigate, to help determine the cause of the poor performance?
Many thanks.
