slow .DLL, but fast .ASP

Hello,

I have a ASP-page which uses a VB ActiveX (.DLL). I have
tested it on my computer with W2k pro, IIS with the latest patches. It works
fine, and I have tested it on another computer with W2k pro and it works
fine there too.

But, on a W2k SRV SP4 the script takes about 90sec longer. There is no
error, but it is slower. The entire server is slower. When I use a
ASP-script with the same code/functionality everything works as fast as
ever.

Somewhere in the ActiveX the page stops for about 40-90 sec.
The script creates some files, then waits with a loop for a file beeing
created by another program. I think this is where the delay is, but in my
ASP-script which uses the same code everything floats on great.

... code ...
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
start = Timer

Do
If fs.FileExists("file.cll") Then Exit Do
nu = Timer

' ----- If no file is found after timeout (45 sec) an error is
displayed
If nu - start >= timeout Then

ASPresponse.Write "</DIV><BR>Error, " & ordername & ".CLL could
not be found.<BR>"
ASPresponse.Write "</BODY></HTML>"

Set fs = Nothing
ASPresponse.End
End If

Loop

... code ...

Anyone know where I can start looking to fix this, I'd rather use the
ActiveX
than the ASP in this case?

Regards,

Security has been changed. How is the MSVBVM60.DLL configured on NTFS and
how did you configure your activex DLL (vb dll)?
Do you happen to run anti-virus checkers on your server?
