Sleepy web app

[Jerry Boone]

I have several web apps, some small, some large. To a user, they seem to go
to sleep after some amount of time. To me, they are reloading the
assemblies into the Gac or something and causing a lot of noise on the
server while doing so.

To clarify... if nobody hits the web app for an extended period of time (I
presume this is either a cache time or maybe just so many hours) that the
web app can take as long as 20 seconds or so before it delivers the first
page, then after that it is as fast as html files.

This is quite unacceptable so I am looking for your remedy in this matter.

Thanks

asp.net web sites are recycled for lots of reasons, including timeout. you
might want to create a job that polls your web site, so that when a reload
is required, it takes the hit. you could also have you application unload
event trigger this job.

more options will exist in a future release.

You can actually change this setting in machine.config. There is an
idleTimeout property in the processmodel section you can set.

Hmm... very good -- app unload would be suitable.

Thanks Bruce!
