Project View rendering in PWA

J

We have been running some tests on a 3,500 line project with approximately 30
resources. When we select the project in Project Center it takes
approximately 60 seconds to render on the desktop. I have heard that
Microsoft recommends not to have projects larger that 2,500 lines and 500
assignments. I find this to be rather restrictive.

What we have is a three server deployment (SQL, Application (Project and
SharePoint) and Views Servers). We have installed SP1. We have tested this
by selecting the drilldown view on the Project Server, and the view builds
within 6 seconds. We checked SQL, and it is sending the information to the
application server in around 3 seconds; however, when we make the same
selection form a desktop on the same domain and in the same building as the
servers, it is taking 60 seconds to render.

We have checked the network connectivity and have found no issues there,
throughput looks to be fine. What we have found is that when we select the
view, packets do not transfer out of the application server for around 50
seconds. After 50 seconds the packets are sent, very quickly, and then the
view builds. It is like IIS is sitting there for 50 seconds doing nothing
and then sends the packs. Any thoughts?

I found KB840875 which actually may resolve the issue. It appears that
Windows Server 2003 with IIS 6.0 has some issues.
