It seems that the more 'keyed' files in the install, the slower our app runs.
This may not be an issue for a more 'normal' app, ours is a server & client interface with our existing product--doing distributed database/workload/computing over an int[er/ra]net [think .NET, but before .NET existed].
If we used WI to install the product, in lab, we found it began to run slowly and pause: after many unsuccessful tweaks I cleared all [except for the 6 shortcut] 'keys' from the install and the slowness/pausing ceased immediately.
My guess is that WI is perusing the 'key file list' whenever a packet is submitted over IIS by IUSER_whatever. It doesn't seem to have issues except via remote HTTP runs.
Has anyone else had/heard of this issue?
