What causes a response lag in IIS?

In the last month or so, my Web server started to lag in its response. I've done the normal things like check CPU usage and disk activity, and neither one is a factor. Sometimes though the server doesn't respond quickly, and I'm not sure why. The problem exists across all of the sites on the server. I'm annoyed.

Queueing is a big deal. You can check for this through the performance monitor.

Stop researching and put it in a blog.

Good idea. That'll fix the problem in no time.

Have you done a tracert or run netmon? Could be extraneous network issues.

@Lynn: Blogging is a great way to get feedback for issues.

Yeah, I wanted to do that today, but at this gig they're blocking ping traffic. Can you say paranoid? :) I was wondering if there was some kind of packet loss or something, but when I watch something like the performance monitor on the box via remote desktop, there is no lag. That leads me to believe that it's IIS that's hesitating. Again, I don't have a good idea of why. I am going to bug my host and ask them to monitor for any issues.

I've read on some blog some time ago that it could be the dns resolve delay, try putting the IIS server hostname in its hosts file.

I have the same issue, don't know when this started and why... It seems like IIS is caching stuff, when I change the file, it's laging... annoying like hell
