DiscountASP vs. Me

DiscountASP just won. Argh! I wrote a long blog post (because I dont have access to Live Writer on this PC) and then clicked Publish and it logged me out. Dont understand what I'm talking about? Read on .. 

Unfortunately, what DiscountASP.NET does not tell you is that due to Community Server 2007’s large memory footprint (~100 megabytes with little to no activity), DiscountASP.NET has to recycle the application pool frequently, sometimes as often as every 5 minutes. The DiscountASP.NET policy is to recycle an individual website’s entire pool once it reaches a size of 100 megabytes.

Here are the consequences of being forced to recycle the application pool on a CS 2007 server:

* All logged-in users are logged out;
* any posts that you may have been writing will be lost if you try to press the submit button;
* the entire website is brought to a crawl with slow load times;
* and in essence it makes Community Server 2007 unusable.
