I have been programming in php for a while, and recently I started a new job ago where I am now programming in c#/asp.net.
While asp has decent performance when deployed, there is one thing that has been bugging me for the past few months. After any code change it takes about 30 seconds for the page to reload for testing.
I guess it is doing the JIT compiling or something. But it can be REALLY frustrating, especially if I am concentrating, and want to test out several incremental changes as quickly as possible, only to have to stare at a blank page for 30 seconds.
Does anyone have any tips to speed this process up?
In Visual studio 2005 every reference you add adds a .refresh file that makes sure the reference did not change since last time and if so brings the new version – if your references stay the same, you can just remove it!
