Issues with mono, temporarily on IIS

I had previously mentioned that I had moved my site over to Mono, however last night I actually moved it back to IIS. The main reason is that I was experiencing some CPU spikes where Mono would take 100% of the CPU. I had tried tracking it down over the weekend, though wasn't able to find the cause, and mean while, my site was going up and down as far as accessibility. Since I wasn't able to narrow down the cause, and wasn't able to dedicate a whole lot of time to it just yet, I figured I might as well switch it back to IIS for the time being so I can get it resolved without having my site down, or having to go onto the server and kill/recycle the mono process.

Hopefully in the next couple of days, I'll get it nailed down. I had a list of a couple of potential causes, and have crossed off a few of them. This morning, think I might have figured it out, but haven't had a chance to test it yet.

Hey Ken,

Have you been running mono on Linux or on Windows?

Marek, I've been running in on Gentoo Linux. Covered a bit of the configuration in my previous post about moving to Mono.

I've actually switched the site back to Mono for the night to see if I'd found out the cause. We shall see... maybe narrow it down to a specific operation.
