Author Publishing on fast network godawful slow

Yes, I know that a 550 MHz PIII with 512 MB RAM and a three drive RAID array
is not the latest and greatest server technology, but it seems that in a one
or two user testing environment it ought to be enough for certain simple
things.

The server is running Windows 2003 server. My box is a 2GHz P4 w/1GB RAM
I'm "publishing" from the server to my local hard disk via 100 megabit
network that's got no traffic on it.

The site has 4916 files in 70MB. When I do a straight download of a 10MB
file it comes down a seven megabytes a second, or 7000K/second.

When I publish the same site to my hard disk (to back up on CD) I get a
throughput of under 20K per second. Publishing that site to my hard disk
takes two hours.

I've checked CPU usage on the server, and it is very low. Does anyone have
any ideas what's going on here?

Thanks. Dave

Yes, I have had the same experience with Windows 2003 and
Frontpage 2003 on 1.5GHZ Server with 1GB RAM. Frontpage
2002 published to it in under 1 minute at blazing speed.
Frontpage 2003 was publishing fast, as well... then all of a
sudden, the publishing speed drops to 20k and it takes about
45 minutes to one hour to publish the site on a 100mbps
network!!!! This is driving me nuts!

Back up your registry first!!

& #91;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsof
t\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\All Ports]

"cachemaxdocmeta"="16384"
"cachemaxinclude"="16"
"cachemaximage"="16"
"cachemaxincludesize"="256"

the above is a global for all webs or you can do it for each individual web from the SE Admin form
or in the registry for each:

& #91;HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsof
t\Shared Tools\Web Server Extensions\Ports\Port /LM/W3SVC/1:]

"cachemaxdocmeta"="16384"
"cachemaxinclude"="16"
"cachemaximage"="16"
"cachemaxincludesize"="256"

Under my Windows Server 2003 that above keys where empty, and had problem with search and replace
taking forever, publishing wasn't too bad, but was slower then under Windows 2000 and 2000
extensions. I still have problem, but not with speed any longer.
