You may notice that a Web application exhibits the
following issues:
- Long running, CPU intensive operations block other requests
from executing. This behavior causes requests to queue.
- Requests appear to be "stuck" in the request queue.
Requests that run on I/O threads that consume 100 percent of the
available CPU capacity cause the completions on the named pipes between the
Inetinfo.exe process and the Aspnet_wp.exe process to be blocked. These completions remain blocked until CPU capacity is available.
This behavior causes incoming requests to be blocked.
To avoid these issues,
ALL requests now run on Worker threads. This scenario frees the I/O
threads to continue to process completions.
Note This scenario is a significant change in behavior. Because of this change, you may have to
configure, test, and stress the following configuration settings:
- maxIOThreads in the <processModel> section
- maxWorkerThreads in the <processModel> section
- minFreeThreads in the <httpRuntime> section
