I truly don't get it. I used an old old version of the Common C++
library to create a small library to provide a simplistic client/server
model. Lately, a library that uses this library has developed some
difficult-to-solve problem, so I did some heavy testing.
On Linux, the performance is very snappy, and the console apps respond
quickly to Ctrl-C.
On Windows, be it XP boxes, Win 2000 VM, or Win 2000 Server racks, the
performance is slow, and some things do work quite right. This is in a
library we've been using for quite a few years.
The XP boxes aren't bad. The Win 2000 VM? It is slow for the test
code. It is also slow for debugging under Visual Studio (again, an old
version). In fact, from its original snappy VM performance, Win 2000
has grown ever more sluggish in all sorts of use cases. Odd.
The big surprise is Win 2003 Server SP2, though. It generally works
okay -- not great. The library code is about as slow as it is on the XP
boxes. But debugging using the old version of VS .NET? Abysmally,
shockingly, annoyingly slow. Something like 20 or more seconds to load
in the next section of debug code and step into it!
I can see the we might have some gotchas that affect only Windows in our
own code. But in Visual Studio?
Strange stuff.
