Dave's Blog

I thought I'd really just share some information I collected while testing perf counters during the IIS6 days.  The big changes were primarily to address the architecture and new process model that HTTP.sys and IIS provided and also to help our scalability situation.  Much of the counter behavior was already documented in the resource kit, but I thought I'd add my own flavor to this, since I helped the UE people write the docs and I think they did a great job given the difficult challenge it is to write about something as you learn it.  So this blog basically covers two items; it covers counters that have new behavior and then some registry keys you can set if you really need to scale out your server for tens of thousands of sites (rare).
