Hi All,

I see that DNN does not support precompilation. What I mean by this is the ability to compile the assemblies etc right down to the binaries for a particular server which the Jitter normally does although a time lag is encountered on first access or after a recycle. In standard ASP.NET2 one can precompile right down to binaries... Indeed MS have provided a better tool to do this.So why is this not possible with DNN? Surely if this were possible then we would not need keep-alive programmes?

Thanks,

Sam

Sebastian,

Are there plans to resolve this? Which release?

Thanks,

Sam

Sam,

Precompilation will significantly reduce the startup time of a portal after an app pool recycle, but as this requires breaking changes, implementation can only be done on major versions like DNN 5.

Compression reduces the size of page elements downloaded from the server to the client and affects currently .ascx and .aspx files only. There are different algorithms for compression, Deflate is said to be a little bit more efficient. You might also check out 3rd party components like Snapsis PageBlaster for additional options.

Besided compression, the other main area for performance is caching. this needs to be implemented properly in your module for best results, for details you might check out the tutorials at dotnetnuke.adefwebserver.com.
