webspeed messenger on win 2008R2 with IIS7

[webguy]

Just curious if any of you are using the webspeed messenger on server 2008 with IIS7. We are migrating from IIS6 on 2003 to IIS7 and curious if there are any issues? IIS7 is quite different from IIS6. Also is there a 64bit version of the messenger available? We are on 10.1C.

Use Windows 2008R2 (which is 64 bit only) for sure. 2008 acts to much like Vista.
The wsisa.dll performance is excellent. I have found that we could consolidate 4 to 8 web servers (Win 2003 32bit using cgiip or wsisa) down to a single server.
Between the improvements in Windows OS, IIS 7.5 and Progress 9 to OpenEdge 10 its a night and day difference.
Just a few extra things you need to do so follow KB: P125146 & P154840. Change the Application Pool Maximum Worker Processes from 1 to 4 (this is for better performance), Change Rapid Fail Protection - Enabled from True to FALSE.
Use the Output Caching for any of your static file extensions.

Interested in hearing other performance improvements others have found.

Excellent info thank you LynnReas. Sounds like with 2008 server 64bit its an advantage now to use the wsisa.dll? We've been using the cgiip on server 2003.
