Hello,
We have a considerable large .NET application running in Terminal
Services, where other applications are also used (Office, Reflection,
Web applications).
We are getting major slowdowns at times, where all terminal clients lock
up for a couple of seconds and then come back.
There is also a problem that may be linked to this: our application
sometimes grows really large (Private Bytes and Working Set over 200MB).
However, when monitoring our managed code via profiling, there are some
peaks, but the managed heap consumption is never over 80-100MB. Why this
difference?
We are new to deploying .NET applications in Terminal Server
environments and would like to hear any advice on how to improve the
performance.
Thank you for any help given.
Regards,
paulo

Hello,
in a terminal server environment, you should ngen your assemblies. This
causes the assemblies to be shared among processes in memory, thus removing
pressure from the private bytes heap.

Hello Henning,
Thank you for your reply. I forgot to say that our assemblies are
processed with ngen on the Terminal Server machine. So the problem I
reported happens with ngen assemblies.

Hi Paulo,
As for your .NET application, is there any particular operations that
involve some unmanaged component(through interop) which may cause resource
limitation? Based on my research, there are some such issue(performance hit
in terminal service environment) that caused by network or OS specific
problem. Here are some web document about terminal service specific issue:
#Windows Server 2003 Terminal Server Capacity and Scaling
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserver2003/techinfo/overview/tsscaling.mspx
#TS + Citrix Troubleshooting

You can have a look to see whether that help some.
Sincerely,
Steven Cheng
