But are you really trying to do that on a Windows Server? I feel like there are better tools for the job.

"Better tools for the job" isn't always "the tool currently bringing in the $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$". So you live with it.

Sure, maybe by switching to linux you can squeeze out an extra CPU core's worth of performance after you fire your entire staff and replace them with Linux experienced developers, and then rewrite everything to work on Linux.

Or, live with it and make money money money money.

Subject, of course, to Microsoft allowing you to continue to use their software.
