Slow first access to PWA RISK/ISSUES

A

The first time I access PWA after a reboot, the Risks and
Issues section on the PWA home page take about 60 seconds
to come up. The second time it is instant.

I have very powerful servers running this deployment with
tons of memory, processors and disk arrays.

I have run CPU, Memory and Network monitors on the SQL
server and the ProjectServer (which also run WSS). There
is no activity at all during the pause.

Does anyone know what is going on here?

Most likely, authentication activities. How fast is your initial domain
logon in the morning?

The domain login is instant. The entire domain is in a
100Mbps LAN. Everything else runs very quick.

I reboot the SQL and ProjectServer every night. The first
time in the morning I have this issue.

If I log-off and then back on I get instant response on
PWA.

I have tracked it down and I think PWA is doing SOAP to
WSS. I think that I may try to duplicate the SOAP packet
and create an automated procedure to send it on boot.

It looks bad when the first person that comes in has to
wait for a minute for the PWA to start.
