But that isn't what would tend to happen, I have set a short timeout value for the read, which means that if the data isn't available, I abort the request. http://ayende.com/3358/premature-optimizations#comment2http://ayende.com/3358/premature-optimizations#comment2Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:15:20 GMTKevin Gadd commented on Premature optimizationsThat does mean that you incur more thread contention, though, since in cases where the data isn't available you have to block a thread for the read operation. Did you try checking the amount of data waiting on the socket before performing the read? If so, how did that work out? http://ayende.com/3358/premature-optimizations#comment1http://ayende.com/3358/premature-optimizations#comment1Mon, 09 Jun 2008 22:09:58 GMT
