IIS 5 logging ? images load slowly

Without apparent rhyme or reason, one or two random domains (out of about 15) will suddenly choke on graphics. In other words, all the text loads normally, but the images load extremely slowly. Meanwhile, all other domains will continue to function normally.

There has been no reliable way to fix an occurence of this issue. Sometimes it seemed that resetting IIS one to ten times would fix it. Other times, rebooting the whole server (often multiple times) was required.

It's taken a lot of effort to narrow this one down, but I've finally positively identified logging as the culprit. While one of the sites was exhibiting the symptom, I repeatedly disabled/enabled logging and the site was immediately affected each time.

I've triedlimiting the logging options to see if there is one or more specific options that are causing this, but it is an all-or-nothing thing.

If you can shed any light on this issue, your assistance would be greatly appreciated.

I am currently having similiar problems but on an IIS 4/NT box.

I have ran into quite a bit of problems with IIS 5 boxes though. Try disabling the Indexing Service and see if that helps. If this works verify what is being indexed. Our machine kept defaulting to indexing the entire machine no matter what we did.

I am interested in knowing what your final fix is.

You might consider a third party solution.

"Introducing "SqueezePlay", a real-time software compressor for Microsoft IIS (Internet Information Server). SqueezePlay lets you make much fuller use of your web-server's outgoing bandwidth, achieving as much as 10 to 1 reduction in data size. SqueezePlay goes WAY beyond the "compression" built into IIS version 5, taking advantage of the capabilities already inherent in the popular browsers, such as Internet Explorer and Netscape, to handle compressed data. As a result, no changes or extra components are required on the client's machine. SqueezePlay automatically recognizes the different capabilities of the various browsers, adapting instantly to provide the best possible combination of speed, quality and compatibility."
