Page Takes A Long Time To Show

[ARPRINCE]

In creating an ASPX page, when you modify the page for whatever reason, I noticed that it takes a very long time before the page is fully visible on the browser. If you close the page and access it again, it comes up in a snap. I figured this because the first time it runs, the revised page is being recompiled (I use VS.NET 2003) and I'm in DEBUG mode.

However, I noticed the same thing on the clients when already in production. If I make changes on my project and and save with VS.NET in RELEASE configuration in the production server, clients accessing the web page for the first time after the revision takes awhile. Succeeding access on the same page is fast.

Any ideas why this is so?

Thanks

Simple explanation: The first time you access the app, JIT is JITTING the Web Application's assembly.

Would that in any way affect the client because I did notice that delay on the client too?

It's applicable everywhere.

If you don't like it, you can do a search on Precompiling asp.net applications.

That was valuable information - thanks.

If you are in debug mode it'll run a lot slower anyway - try taking it out of debug mode and see how quick it is then.
