The startup time limit specifies how long IIS will wait for a worker process to start servicing requests. By default, the worker process startup time limit is enabled in IIS 6.0 with a default setting of 90 seconds. If 90 seconds is not long enough to allow the application to begin processing requests, try a longer time interval.
