SYMPTOMS
After you delete a large number of advertisements, subsequent offers of new advertisements may be slow. In addition, new computers may be slow to receive advertisements after joining a collection if the previous advertisement was deleted.



CAUSE
When you delete advertisements, Offer Manager creates a .del file for each advertisement to be deleted. When processing a .del file, Offer Manager opens and possibly modifies all .ins files on the site. Given a large site with many clients, and many .ins files, this process can cause a lot of disk input/output, and Offer Manager may be very slow to process the changes.



WORKAROUND
To work around this issue, delete only a small number of advertisements at a time.



STATUS
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed at the beginning of this article.
