Thought I'd share some performance tips and tricks with everyone.

If you enable HTTP Compression and Custom HTTP header to your CRM web app it
really increases the performance. There are a couple of tweaks you can apply
(should be very careful)

1.) Enable HTTP Compression - Check out the link
http://www.dotnetjunkies.com/HowTo/1...761D31E66.dcik
2.) Add the following Custom HTTP Headers to CRM directories and files of
the following type .gif. .jpg, .htc, and .css (DO NOT apply to .aspx files.)
here are the entries you want to use:
Customer header name; "Cache-control"
Customer header value "post-check=900; precheck=3600"

I have deployed to a # of clients and the app is flying. These tweaks along
with some SQL tuning really provides a noticeable difference in performance.
Hope you find it as useful as I have.

just noticed that article says to add compression extention...i dont think
this is necessary with IIS6.

what i did was enable compression from iis6 mmc

then
1. net stop iisadmin
2. cscript.exe c:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs set
w3svc/filters/compression/gzip/hcscriptfileextensions "asp" "aspx "dll" "exe"
3. cscript.exe c:\inetpub\adminscripts\adsutil.vbs set
w3svc/filters/compression/deflate/hcscriptfileextensions "asp" "aspx" "dll"
"exe"
4. net start w3svc

if you had smtp, ftp services running you'll need to start them also.

i havent tried adding the custom http headers...but will give it a try
sometime.

thanks for the tip MDV
