GWENPOOL #14 arrives this week with our titular hero continuing her quest to make her teammates’ lives tolerable, but with an added dose of chaos and magic.

Performance Comparison Recently, I’ve been wondering what the difference is between rendering an image using IIS’s built in file handling capabilities, or using the asp.net with a custom handler. I decided to do a little test program to simply see the difference in clock time for processing such requests. The results of this test clearly show that IIS is faster.

Sometimes a little, and sometimes a lot. I decided to test three size images, and run them each 10 times. Often, there is a start up lag time so the iterations should wash that out. The table below basically sums up the results pretty well. The resolution of my timer is not great so for small images (35KB), both IIS and the handler processed the image in under 15 milliseconds. There may be a difference but in my case, it was probably not measurable because of all the other time involved in the request. For Medium size images (550KB), difference is more consistent.

Again, it’s a timer resolution problem that makes 15 milliseconds probably something related to a CPU click of sorts. For large images (5.6MB) you can clearly see a difference.

The time it takes for the handler to process the image is almost double that of IIS. Filed Under:, September 4, 2006 By.
