Does a .NET 4.0 website load faster for a reason?
- by Clarence Klopfstein
I have been using DotNetBlogEngine for many years, and today my host (JodoHost.com) officially turned on support for .NET 4.0. What I've noticed immediately is that the website loads tremendously faster on the first load, subsequent loads are only slightly faster.
The website is compiled as a .NET 2.0 web application.
Is there a known reason for this performance increase? Was there a change in the .NET 4.0 framework that improved the initial load time of websites into an application pool?
