Everyone agrees that cross-context calls are more expensive than
same-context calls because of the interception. The position I took in my
book was that you should only pay that price when you need to. I did not
address the issue of COM+ interception overhead relative to MTS, nor have I
tested it. The topic has come up on this list before and I have
*hypothesized* that increased overhead in interception might be responsible
for the performance decline Charles and others have seen moving from MTS to
COM+. I suggested reducing contexts as a possible solution to the problem
Charles is having. I certainly do not claim that that is the only possible
explanation and since I never saw the source code, there wasn't much I could
do to verify it.

Yes. Something is making Charles' real world applicatoin run slower under
W2K/COM+. So what is it?

Thanks,
