We have a basic PING type program using a socket. The server just
echoes back a message and the client times how long it takes to
receive the message back using the (msec-accurate) Stopwatch class in
System.Diagnostics.
We ran server and client both together (loopback) on a number of
servers.
1 of 4 apparently identical boxes is so much faster then the rest.
The speed ranges from 7-9 msec to 70-80 msec.
There are no difference in the running services at all in all 4
machines.
Some 4 core box are slower, but 1 4 core box is the fastest (beats an
8 core box).
What could cause the boxes to perform differently like that ?
Thank you.
