I have written a .NET application to be deployed on a two clusterd SQL server machine. My probelm is it runs slower on the very powerful Cluster node than my developmet PC. It's actually very slow. I wrote a simple application as below to to see whether the problem is actually with .NET.

        public FileTest()
        {
            Console.WriteLine("Start here");
            long Start = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
            for (int i=0;i<=1000;i++)
            {
                Console.WriteLine("Print Something >" + i);
                Thread.Sleep(10);
            }
            long End = DateTime.Now.Ticks;
            long Diff = End - Start;
            Console.WriteLine("Time Taken is : " + Diff.ToString());
            Console.Read();
        }
This runs 4 seconds faster on my machine than the cluster node.
I ran some other executables like compression utility (non .NET) and they run faster on the cluster node, therefore i am very sure this is something to do with .NET exes only.
I have .NET 1.1
Cluster node OS = Windows2000 adv server, dual processor
Dev OS = Win XP
I appreciate somebody's help very much.

The quanta on NT Server is about 120ms and the quanta on a
workstation/xp the quanta is 20/20/60 ms depending on the settings for
boost foreground application. The quanta is the time alotted to a thread
to run on the cpu. And usually having some blocking operation or sleep
in a thread can make you give up the rest of your alotted quanta until
you are scheduled again. So to make a valid comparison make a cpu
intensive task and run at least two threads because the test you are
doing now is more dependent on the scheduling algorithm of the os than
the actual performance since you have a blocking sleep operation in the
thread.
