I agree with you. Surely this is not going to be the deployment environment. I have built this environment just to have some baseline expectation of the real system. But with each piece of the puzzle residing on different machines, I will certainly incur in additional overhead and the numbers would most probably be worst... or not? Can you please further detail your rationale? Manuel You can read messages from the DOTNET archive, unsubscribe from DOTNET, or subscribe to other DevelopMentor lists at http://discuss.develop.com.
