Major Issue with Moss 2007 Performance - Help Please!!!
Hi Guys, I have this issue at school on the Gold Coast and can't seem to solve it. Seems it's common to the combination below. Let me know if you know how to improve it? Thanks Paul MOSS 2007 + Windows Server 2003 + IIS 6 Poor WCM Webpage load speedWe are a school with 3 x Domains and the below specs and configurations: Home Pages of each site plus all sub pages load very slowly (ie: 20-40 seconds to load first time). After caching it the speed improves but not by much.With wireless it's even slower Server Spec: 4GB Ram1 x Intel Xeon CPU (3.2 GHz) 1 x 410 GB Hard Drive1 x 1GB Nic Windows 2003 Standard Server SP2MOSS 2007 Standard (NTLM authentication, 1 x SSP, Setup is Farm on single server which has IIS 6 and SQL 2005 Server installed there as well)SQL Server 2005 Standard ( 6 x Content Databases, it keeps taking more and more RAM > have to restart it when it get's over 1.5 GB of RAM) IIS6 (anonymous and Integrated authentication) 5 x Site Collections ( 1 is Central Administration Site)5 x separate Web Applications (1 each per Site Collection and recycled at 1.45am each morning plus if virtual memory exceeds 300 mb RAM or used memory exceeds 200MB of RAM) each using the same application pool user account which has domain admin privilages and is the Owner of all Moss Content Databases in SQL Server 2005 Caching enabled on each Site collection 5 x W3Wp.exe processes running at an average of 100 - 150 MB of RAM eachOWSTIMER.exe process running at 150 MB on average2 x mssdmn.exe processes running at between 50 - 100 MB each5 x IISCHAgent.exe processes running at approx 20 MB each How do we improve this?I've read of people with 4,8,16GB of RAM on dual core CPU's on 64 BIT Server and Hardware suffering the same problem. Web Config file for each site collection has this entry for the Blob Cache <BlobCache location="C:\blobCache" path="\. (gif|jpg|png|css|js|bmp|dwp|stp|wmv)$" maxSize="10" enabled="true" max-age="6400" /> Some please help because this is unacceptable PaulOZ 0408 747 535

hi paul, in general: speed to the end user is normal user experians check some load testers for end users. however MS give you a simple calculation tool calculating the OPS/sec that your sysem is able to run. lets asume : OS would like to have say 1gb ram SQL the same leave us 2 gb ram to devide to sharepoint IIS, search and indexer and more like antivirus ect, ect. is 1 cpu up to the task ? or 64 bit versus 32 bit OS ? rfc see diff OS 64/32 limits. rfc web application settings and mem usage. rfc network settings and limitations. a other light is add a web proxy sever inbetween, however if you recycle your memory to early your perfo hits will be the same as you suffer now. now if you have 5 web apps you need to allocate normal 500 up to 800 mb per webapp (limit OS 32bit is 2000 mb, OS 64bit 1024gb),see the diff....if you system is swapping mem this will take time and to to the end user more delay, perhaps some redesign is needed to overcome your limits but be carefull you do not run into new limits, MS has some new calculation tools to guide you, andto give some recomendations to design, use them as a guide. sharepoint planning capacity tool http://www.microsoft.com/systemcenter/sccp/default.mspx perhaps this is of some help to you. kind regards mjj

Hi Just caught this within your request. 5 x separate Web Applications (1 each per Site Collection and recycled at 1.45am each morning plus if virtual memory exceeds 300 mb RAM or used memory exceeds 200MB of RAM) each using the same application pool user account which has domain admin In principal you *should* have service accounts that are NOT domain admins for your application pools. The fact that all web apps are using the same application pool is not really a good idea. See this post from Joel http://blogs.msdn.com/joelo/archive/2007/10/29/sharepoint-app-pool-settings.aspx Also I suggest that you check your event logs to see if you see any SharePoint related warnings or errors. Try working through and clearing those first. cheers HTH Chandima http://www.chandima.net/Blog/
