SYMPTOMS
In Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003, you may find that it takes a longer time to create a new Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Web site on a portal site as the number of Web sites on the portal site increases. For example, you may experience symptoms that are similar to the following:
- When there is only one site in the database, it may take approximately one second or less to create a new Web site.
- When there are 10,000 Web sites in the database, it may take approximately two seconds or more to create a new Web site.
- When there are 25,000 Web sites in the database, it may take approximately five seconds or more to create a new Web site.
- When there are 50,000 Web sites in the database, it may take approximately twelve seconds or more to create a new Web site.
