RE: tcp/ip socket slowdown

Hi Walden,

        Thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately our power failed just after I 
posted
the question and the code is on a unit I can't reach just now.  I will
supply it as soon as possible.  I don't do much .net stuff, I have someone
else that is handling that and he tells me that he logs the time once he has
constructed the string that he is to send,  calls whatever send api he is
using (which I will provide later), and then logs the time when it returns.
the elapsed is on the order of 3 mins depending on size which averages about
1 - 2 meg and does not include the time spent building the string.  From the
server side, the server just sits there without using any cpu until around
the 3 min mark when it blooms up cpu usage and knocks out the disassembly
and saving of the data in about 3-4 secs.  I'll send the vb code tomorrow.

Thanks again,

Rick,

What's the .NET code look like (can you post the snippet). Are you using
raw Socket objects, or a TcpClient on top of that? Also, does the timer
really start right before you do the send() or does it include the time
to build the string to send? When I hear about long run times and
strings I always think that someone might need to use a StringBuilder
where they have a string since strings are immutable.
