Cave Quisquiliae (Beware of Garbage!)
This week I was contracted by a local company to investigate why their windows service was getting slower and slower over time. They would start a long running process on the service which would start off processing 100 transactions a minute however after 15 minutes would only be processing 50 minute. In fact, after one hour it would be processing as little as 5 a minute.
Why the slow down? I was hired to find out!
