I'm curious to see what real world application performance advantages / disadvantages .Net has over VB6 and ASP3.

From what I've gather so far, SQL database access is faster, but you need faster / more hardware to Run the .Net applications.

Am I off base?

You shouldn't need a hardware upgrade unless you are running really old stuff. Just lod the CLR/.Net framework, and .Net apps will run.

That doesn't really answer your question though. I haven't done any testing on performance between old ASP and ASP.Net, but I would bet ASP.Net is much faster particularly if you take advantage of the cacheing available.

In every non-scientific test I've tried, .NET has been faster.

SQL server is REALLY fast in VB.NET. I think that this has to do with the SQL data provider using the SQL Tabular Data Stream protocol directly without any proxies!..

I've thought ASP.NET webpages to be rather slow and cumbersome because of all the page transitions and the amount of data being sent back and forth from/to the server.

For beginners and/or lazy programmers, I think that ASP is faster. Advanced users can go for caching and such, in order to make ASP.NET more efficient and faster. On the other hand, ASP.NET doesn't seem to encourage the use of frames.

Also, it's too bad that ASP.NET doesn't support Remote Data Services.

Personally I'm not too impressed. I only like the OO architecture.

.NET hands down... of course the better system you have (RAM is important for caching) Of course the initial load of the page is slow because it is compiled (just like JSPs)

It is my personal opinion that people that put down .NET have never tried it or are not object-oriented programmers... After the first several pages I did for the application I'm developing in .NET I swore I would never go back to VB or ASP... of course I still have to maintain a few applications like that .. I will work my way around converting everything! I suggest you get on board because .NET will change your life (as a programmer)...

it makes me happy
