Using a large loop to compare performance of coding choices? Think twice...

Monday, 16 January 2006 5:15 P GMT-05
Ever heard of or considered using a large loop (a thousand or million times) to test whether one coding choice was "better performing" than another? It's a common but generally fallacious approach. This isn't just my opinion but one shared by many.

Beware of lost sessions and logins on IIS 6 due to web gardens and in process session state

Saturday, 7 January 2006 12:22 A GMT-05
If using IIS 6 and you enable the "Web garden" feature (setting the max number of processes for that pool to greater than 1), beware. You may suddenly "lose" sessions or experience "random logouts". The problem is .NET's in-memory session state.
