Hi Steven,

 

One of the first things I would do is install Grant's Performance Heat
Map report so that you can track the effect of any changes you make:

http://ozgrant.com/2008/04/05/tfs-performance-heat-map-reporting-service
s-report/

 

What kind of deadlocks are you encountering? SQL Server? ASP.NET? TFS? 

Are you getting errors or hangs?

Are the errors in the Event Log? In the SQL Server log?

 

There are some basic performance counters you should look at to identify
if the bottleneck is CPU (CPU %), disk (disk queue length) or memory
(pages / sec, memory available).

 

As a general rule you get much more value out of adding a second
processor or adding additional memory than tweaking ASP.NET settings.
One thing that I've had to do on single server configurations is limit
SQL Server's memory to allow ASP.NET to have enough free memory.

Subject: [OzTFS] TFS performance configuration recommendation

 

Hi all,

 

We have a single tier TFS 2008 installation, with Sharepoint and
Reporting services all on the one instance.

This is a single CPU machine and we have been having some deadlock and
general performance issues.

While we realise that some permanent solutions will involve moving some
of these services (like RS) off onto another box, we want to investigate
one avenue first: ASP.NET performance tuning.

 

This document: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/821268

... provides advice for general ASP.NET application performance in
regards to worker thread settings. We would like to try out some
'optimal' settings here to see if we can improve on our deadlock issue.

The only internet services on this machine relate to Sharepoint,
Reporting Services, and TFS: there are no other applications.

 

Can someone please advise what they believe the optimal values would be
for the various settings defined in this article, purely for TFS
performance improvement? 

 

We'd prefer not to "tinker" as such: ie. try increasing this value,
lowering that value, etc. We will change it once, and compare it over a
number of days for performance improvements.

 

I appreciate any help you guys can give. I know its probably a rare
problem domain that is not encountered overly often.

 

Cheers,

Steven
