Tracking down long Page Load (the missing 5 seconds!)

[ritchie]

I have a fairly complex asp.net page containing a number of
usercontrols.
It takes 6-8 seconds to load first time up with data. Subsequent
loads of another record in the page only takes 1-2 seconds.

Tracing tells me the End Render event occurs in less than one second.
Does anyone have suggestions to what might be causing this initial
delay? and more to the point, suggestions to overcome it?

thanks

It is probably the JIT compiler compiling the page. Every time your touch
the dll or reboot the computer the dll is recompiled thus causing time delay
for the first person that views the page.
