PS Bottlenecks
As with ILS, the performance of a server running PS depends on many factors. The most
important are:
the type of CPU in the system and its speed, the number of processors, and how much the
CPU is utilized
the type of network and its speed, the number of network interface cards (NICs), and the
device drivers for the NICs
the amount and type of memory in the system
the operating system
the web server software (IIS)
Personalization Software
the disk subsystem

The CPU utilization decreases as the number of users in the
UPD increases.
