Is SharePoint Slow? I Don’t Think So…
At last count, I've deployed SharePoint at over 40 companies. Maybe closer to 50 at this point...I really should update the list. One thing I don't think I have ever heard is "why is SharePont so slow?" Ok, maybe on the first one or two, but that was SharePoint Services 2.0.
The question was asked recently at SPOverflow. I chimed in with some things to consider. Some other veterans added to the list. As a result, we have a pretty healthy checklist of considerations to optimize SharePoint performance in your environment. I emphasize in your environment because out of the box, SharePoint performs. Period. To be fair, I don't install SharePoint on undersized hardware and I build out the farm with multiple Web Front End servers when the situation calls for it. But if bandwidth is a problem in your environment, for example, you may have issues. That is not a SharePoint problem, that is a bandwidth problem. You get the idea. There are many helps on TechNet for helping you plan out your farm. Be sure to check them out.
