>>I've got a strange one, at least to me it is. I've trying to deploy my site on my production server (W2K server, IIS5), also tried on an XP pro box, same results. When I create a new site and put my code there it runs like a dog, very slow from the root. If I take the same code, create a folder under the root and run it from there it runs fine. The time it takes to display pages in the root is 2-5 seconds or so, and when you press the back button it takes as long. From the folder it takes less than a second or so and pressing the back key displays the page instantly. Any ideas or suggestion? TIA

The 1st time the application runs, it has to compile into memory, and therefore will run faster the 2nd time. I've never noticed a problem running inside of root, as opposed to other.

Thanks for the reply Morgan. Yes clearing the cache doesn't seem to make a difference. When it's being run from the root it always runs slowly. Even the second or third time. If I had to guess I would say that either IIS or the browser is not caching or being forced to reload each time. I'm at a loss.
