50% performance loss from using IIS with UNC

Hello,

I have documented with our servers that having remote classic ASP content
over a UNC has a 50% performance loss when compared to running the exact same
code locally, using the same AD user.

Anyone else see this behavior?

(and this isn't really even mentioning about how our old, slow server could
do the same workload all locally 10 times as fast as UNC on the new server)

My example - using apache bench (ab.exe) 200 users ask for the same
non-database dependent asp file 10 times each (total of 2000 requests). The
old, slow windows 2000 server completes this in 6 seconds, the new, fast 2003
server using local content does this in 29 seconds, the new, fast 2003 server
using UNC content does this in 58 seconds.

Thanks in advance,
