Web use has grown immensely popular in the last few years.
However as a result, a couple of problems have emerged.
- Web servers aren't fast enough. At peak usage time,
web servers slow down and response time increases
- Web site designers need faster ways to design services
Web Server Speed:
- Each request on an unaltered web server starts a new process. Process
creation is far more expensive than thread creation (approximately 10 times
more).
- With addins to the web server such as
each request directed to the addin starts only a new thread.
