I have an ongoing investigation with associated questions that I already have posted at the stackoverflow forum "Scalability
issue when using outgoing asynchronous web requests on IIS 7.5". Though I think there is a place for it here at the ASP.NET forums as well and I originally planned to post it here instead. However, I don't see a suitable forum category for it really. Why
is there not a forum called something like "Capacity related - Scalability and Peformance"? I know the IIS forum exists as well, but part of this investigation really dig into the ASP.NET request pipeline and especially how the ThreadPool scales with higher
load so I think there should be a place for it here as well. Don't you think so?
Ok, thanks. I settle for Configuration and Deployment then and I just posted a
follow up post there which is more inline with the category then. Though if you ask me, there is room for a forum called "Scalability and Performance" since this is certainly not only about configuration and deployment. And architecture is just too
broad of a term in this context I think. But this is only IMHO.
As Terri stated we like to consolidate forums instead of adding new ones. I'm voting for adding a bit more broad declaration of the deployment forum to also add scalability and performance and move posts there. Just a hint, if you want scalability go for
Windows Azure.

Yes. we are looking into this. At least as a quick scale out option for peak traffic. We are not only interested in scalability but also high throughput and normally there is a ~10% waste on virtual platform. Also we are also doing some research work on
using GPU's on web servers for hot sport areas that would require a low level control of things. Though I know Amazon web service has a centre in the US where GPU's can be used, but what's the status for Azure here? Oh, well. That might perhaps be another
thread...

Hmm. Sorry for continuing this in "the wrong thread". But just so we don't misunderstand each other. I don't think Azure is the solution on most scalability problems. Especially not if this case when a single server don't scale out with regards to CPU. Don't
you agree? Azure, as of my understanding, simplifies scalability once you have enabled it, but if you are not there yet, is not the answer. You still have to build the application and system architecture to enabling scalability whether on Azure or other type
of platform.

Where is the ASP.NET scalability and performance forum category?

You might also try Configuration & Deployment (http://forums.asp.net/26.aspx/1?Configuration+and+Deployment) or perhaps Architecture (http://forums.asp.net/16.aspx/1?Architecture). We can consider adding a "Scalability and Performance" forum, but generally we'd like to consolidate more of the forums and not add more.

Indeed and it's best placed in the Azure forum.
