HTML IMG vs ASP:IMAGE performance

[Gonçalo Boléo]

I have no need to have server control over an image.
What is the best choice to use HTML img tag or asp:image for best
performance?

thanks,

HTML controls provide slightly better performance than Web Controls, so go
with the img tag.

If there's no need to have a server control, then just use a <img> tag (primarily
for simplicity, even though it is faster but it's negligible). If you are
using a server control there's essentially no difference between the HtmlControls
and the WebContorls.
