I have a file testing program that creates, writes and indexes a file on the
server from the Windows client.
On xpp sp1 the program takes 7 sec to write file and 8 sec to read the indexed
file.
After telling the Firewall to go away I can get the following numbers from xpp
sp2;
29..30..45 (tested multiple times) sec to write the file
and 7..8 sec to read the file. Any ideas on why the 'best'
performance of sp2 is 4+ times worse than Windows XP Pro SP1? I really
don't want to ship a system with this type of performance degradation.
As a side note; initally the file write performance was in the 120 sec range,
17 times longer!! Why hasn't this been reported and/or what is strange about
my
systems?
ps. the Client hardware AMD1800+.... is identical on the SP1 and SP2 machines.
Any help on this would be very appreciated.
John.
