You may have a hung reference so the page rendering isn't releasing... Make sure you're releasing hte COM object explicitly along with any child objects (especially be careful of circular references).

You can flush the Repsonse at the end of the page to force the output to go to the client quicker, although that may just mask the problem.

>His application is written in Classic ASP (Not ASP.Net). The server runs fine with a light load but when the requests get above 90 per minute the server slows to a crawl. To start debugging this, he put some timing code in the page. He captures the time at the top of the page and then prints out the difference at the bottom of the page. It take less than a second to produce the page but the browser doesn't see it for 30-40 seconds.
