[FX.php List] [FM API] Very slow performance on IIS7

[Joel Shapiro]

Hey again

No suggestion this time, but it seems you're not alone.  I just saw  
this on another list:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
We have had a CWP solution running for several months on a WIN 2003  
Server.  We recently upgraded both the server, OS and FileMaker Server  
software.

On the new machine the FileMaker files seem to be running much better  
than before, but unfortunately the CWP pages now seem to load in  
minutes rather than seconds.  We moved the php files directly from the  
old to the new server and have also tried loading "fresh" copies of  
the php files.  Because the CWP files are basically useless on the new  
machine, we have had to keep the old machine running so our clients  
websites would still function.

Here are the configurations for the two machines:

OLD
WIN Server 2003, Enterprise, SP 2
Intel Xeon 2.50 GHz
1.95 GB RAM
60 GB Hard Drive
IIS v6.0
PHP v5.2.6 build 5/2/08
FileMaker Server Advanced v10.0.2.206

NEW
WIN Server 2008, Enterprise without Hyper-V, SP 2
6 Core AMD Opteron 2.60 GHz (2 processors)
32 bit OS
2.0 GB RAM
60 GB Hard Drive
IIS v7.0
PHP v5.2.11 build 9/16/09
FileMaker Server Advanced v11.0.1.95

Any ideas or suggestions as to why we are seeing such a significant  
performance drop with the same php files on updated hardware and  
software?  I am hesitant to go back to the older version of php,  
because the version currently on the new server is what is indicated  
in the FileMaker documentation.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'll report back here if there are any positive replies to this.
