Why does IISRESET /STOP goes longer than IISRESET /START

hi,

when doing an iisreset, i noticed that starting all related procesess is
much, much quicker than stopping them, i.e. iisreset /stop takes much more
time than iisreset /start.

does anybody know a reason for this?

thanks in advance, fritz

<grin> this is a great analogy.

Starting up IIS is like giving kids (web applications) a fresh, clean
room (windows process) to play in. Very fast.

Stopping IIS is like asking all the kids (application) to clean up
their messes in the room prior to going to bed at night. Potentially
slow, depending on the child -- some are more disciplined (well
engineered to cleanup) than others.
