Create object very slow

[at2k21]

Using code similar to below I am seeing long pauses for the server requests and I am not sure why.

Code: Select all

//... Other code above here

SelectServer server = GetSelectServer();
IOrderStore os = server.GetService<IOrderStore>();
OrderCreationSpec spec = new OrderCreationSpec()
                                        {
                                            BaseNumber = anOrder.BaseNumber
                                        };
IOrder order = os.NewOrder(spec); // Taking many seconds to return. 10+ in many cases.

//... Other code below here.

Is there some configuration I am missing or something? When I run the same code in the production environment I am seeing performance 10x slower than development. Server is running MS Server 2008 R2 Datacenter x64 with 8GB ram and plenty of hard disk. SoftPro Select version is 4.3.50811.33. Any help is appreciated.

Is the server a production server so it's already busy? I'm not sure what is going on.

The code looks fine so I'm assuming it is the environment.
