extremely slow Network/Disk IO on Windows agent compared to Ubuntu/Mac #260
Open
Description
Description:
Ubuntu agents have slightly higher IOPS disk performance configuration. We use install-dotnet.ps1 script for installation provided by DotNet team . The DownloadFile and Extract-Dotnet-Package functions are being slow. We will investigate how to improve performance those functions if we replace DownloadFile -> WebClient and Extract-Dotnet-Package -> 7zip
DownloadFile and Extract-Dotnet-Package are awfully slow. Like 3x slower!
