I have a new server with Windows 2003 Server and MySQL on it. The database is terrible slow though. I compare the speed to the same database on another pc with Win XP and on the server calls to the database is 1000 times slower! And then I have used the exact same code and I have nothing else running in the background. When I do another test without using the database the Server is faster as it should be. So the problem has something to do with the database.

Any ideas?

I add more information I just discovered. The server works slower on .vbs-files while working with .asp-files it is fast. So something is causing the server to be extremely slow when it comes to working towards the MySQL-database through .vbs-files, everything else works fast and fine. What is it with that perticular combination?

I have seen other posts about Windows servers and slow mysql that concern name lookup and DNS/reverse DNS (even when using an ip address.) Here are a couple of posts concerning a solution for this -

In your case, I suspect that the library being used to interface between .asp and mysql does not exhibit this problem, but the .vbs to mysql interface does.
