What is your configuration? I mean, for the machine running DNN? If you are running it on your development PC, don't expect the greatest performance because of limitations of IIS and/or the TCP/IP stack related to serving HTTP requests. To get a fair idea of the performance you should run DNN on Windows server, and it doesn't even need to be very powerful.

Also, really basic but, are you running DNN in debug mode?

Hey gang. Thanks for the replies!

Well I am running the 4.x latest INSTALL zips, so are these in debug mode? I'm not running in VS.
I am just running on local host and finding it very very slow considering I have no traffic to the site and I am just browsing locally.

It takes a good 20 seconds sometimes for example if I click "Login" until I get the login form. After reading the article I posted to, the viewstate makes some sense. I would also like to remove it because if you think of any dialup users, if you are storing the session in a hidden form field, just looking at the viewstate on this very page doing viewsource and its HUGE.

I do not want this kind of overhead. From what I gather session viewstates (which most web technologies used in the past) uses more memory on the server. That is fine. I rather put the burden of memory on my server than make people post 50k up and down worth of viewstate. That and its just unwanted bandwidth. I think enabling/disabling the viewstate should be a choice of the admin of the site. They can choose between which advantages and drawbacks they require.

So that being said. How does one disable viewstate properly in 4.x branch without the bugs people are having trying to do so? Also I would like to benchmark it if its possible.
