Caching my ASP.NET Site

[Frank Schumacher]

Hi NG,

I have build a little ASP.NET application, that provides my other sites
with picturestreams from a database.
Everything is fine, except that loading a picture the first time takes
some seconds. I guess there is some compilation etc. in the background.
After the first time, the picturesite responds in an instant.

So my question: Can I force the ASP.NET site to be "permanently cached",
so that it responses fast even the first time? I have it running on an
IIS 5.1 Server.

Thanks in advance,
Frank

Not until 2.0 arrives will we truely have a workable solution for the
start up compilation penalties. There are some workarounds available
but someone will always have to 'pay the price' on first hit in 1.x.

Thanks for the info, Scott.
Now I can stop searching for it
