request queue makes web app down

[Dicky Cheng]

As my web app in IIS always face request queue up due to lengthy requests.
And finally my web app will not response and totally dead. Any methods I can
solve this problem? Also, any article talks about how to tweak the setting
in IIS and machine.config?

Thanks,
Dicky

You can search MSDN & google for "IIS tuning" or "IIS performance" for some
articles. But if your web application is hanging, you're often better off
making is faster, instead of just tweaking IIS. Profile your code -- where
is the slowdown occurring? Database queries? Infinite loops? That should get
you on the right track.
