Ah, OK :-)

So if your server is choking because you're using all of its capacity you can code your way out of it ? Hmmmmm......

Sometimes it does take more hardware not just more coding whether using Microsoft or IBM technologies.

Don't blame Microsoft for poor coding or inferior hardware issues :-)

Actually going back to the original thread this is a good example of
scalability which in this case happens to be using Windows servers.


Adding more servers to a server farm is not my idea of responding to increasing workloads "gracefully". Throwing more hardware at a performance problem is not my idea of scalability. It's more a symptom that the system is NOT scalable.
Anybody can add a new server and route requests to it.

Of course, Microsoft is working from a different play book.
