Servlet performance on Dual Processor m/c

[harpreet]

Hi Friends,     I have a servlet on my m/c which is a single processor, WinNT having apacheweb server. Whenever i stress test the servlet i get a fairly good performance of about 25 hits/sec. The servlet has a connection pool which connects to an sql server db at the back end.     Now the problem is when i shift the servlet to a DUAL processor (Intel PIII) m/c. On stress testing it the success rate is 2-3% rest all are http error codes.    Could anyone help me with this problem and explain me why such behaviour on a dual processor machine. Or point me to some links. (I have searched the web a lot but am unable to find any answers to the problem)   thank you Regards Harpreet
