WCF Workflow Services: Performance Issues?

Question

Hi

I am still rather new using WF, but I am finding performance issues with WCF Workflow Services.

I have developed more complex WCF Services before, and did not have such slow response times as I am having with a simple WCF Workflow Service.

What should I be looking for to improve performance?

Thanks

Hello Jeff!

Couldn't you try to tell a bit on things like:

• Which kind of structure of workflow are you dealing with?
• Are you using distributed transactions?
• Are you using a monitoring database?
• Are you using a persistence database?
• Which binding are you using?
• Are you using Windows Server AppFabric?
• Whick kind of computer and operating system are you using?
• More if you find it relevant.

Best regards,
