caching (asp/html)

Hello,

I have a page with a MINIMAL amount of asp code (just checks the browser version) the rest of the page is HTML.

To do this(check browser) I obviously have to call it "whatever.ASP". My problem is that when it loads it takes long to load - it does not seem to be cached or something. When I take out the asp code and rename the page to .html it loads slowly the first time, but then loads extremely quickly on subsequent "loads" - I assume this is because of the caching.

How can I do this in asp. Does it have something to do with setting response.buffer = true or false!!??

Thanks,
T

VB Code:

Response.Expires = 30 'expires 30 minutes into the future

adding on to what josh put, is that any asp page has to be evaluated by IIS before it is sent to the client, regardless if there is actually any script in it, hence the longer load period. eg. If you created a standard HTML page and just re-named it to .asp (without putting any script in ) it would still take longer to load

Unless you are using IIS 5.0 in which case the performance hit is minimized. That was true in version 4.0 and back though...
