Jason,
I've found .Net to be very efficient. I have some routines that do a lot
more than what you're talking about and everything is running perfectly.
Of course, it all depends on the hardware also. We are running a web farm
and each box has dual itanium processors and a gig of memory so the best
advice I can give you is test it out and see.
Do you know about the "Microsoft Application Center Test" program that .Net
comes with. It's a great application that lets you hit the web server with
any number of user requests you want in order to test responsiveness.
You'll find it at: Start - All Programs - Microsoft Visual Studio.Net 2003
(or 2002 has it also) - Visual Studio.Net Enterprise Features - Microsoft
Application Center Test
Good luck testing!

We are thinking of serializing an object & passing it toseveral functions
on web service.
This will happen about 35 times as the page loads. The class has about
20 attributes.
We're not sure on the impact serializing something has on an asp.net page
rendering, compared to say, hitting the db or something like that.
THanks
