Check to enable request filters.   Proxy Settings Proxy Server: Enter the Proxy Server Address Proxy Port: Enter the Proxy Server Port Proxy Username: Enter the User Name for the Proxy Server Proxy Password: Enter the Password for the Proxy Server Web Request Timeout: Enter a time out value for a Web Request   SMTP Server Settings SMTP Server and port: Enter the SMTP Server Address. You can also specify an alternate port by adding a colon and the port number (e.g. smtp.googlemail.com:587). Enter the SMTP server name only to use default port number (25)   Test SMTP Authentication: Enter the SMTP Server Authentication method ( default = Anonymous ) Anonymous Basic NTLM SMTP Enable SSL: Used for SMTP services that require secure connection (usually not needed) SMTP Username: Enter the Username for the SMTP Server SMTP Password: Enter the Password for the SMTP Server   Performance Settings Page State Persistence: Select the mode to use to persist a page's state. This can either be a hidden field on the Page (Default) or in Memory (Cache). Page Memory Module Caching Method: Memory caching provides the most flexibility and is the highest performance method however it also consumes the most system resources. Disk caching is the least expensive on resources but does not offer any flexibility. Memory Disk Performance Setting: Select how to optimize performance. No Caching Light Caching Moderate Caching Heavy Caching   Clear Cache Authenticated Cacheability: Sets the Cache-Control HTTP header value for authenticated users. NoCache Private Public Server ServerAndNoCache ServerAndPrivate Compression Setting: Select the type of Http Compression to use. No Compression Deflate Compression GZip Compression Use Whitespace Filter: Select this to remove excess white space from the response sent to the client - this will result in a smaller download (10-15%) but it will make the html less readable.

Ok, try these:

• Set Caching to "High"
• Set Cachebility to "Public"
• Switch the Scheduler to "Timer" mode
• In IIS,
  • Disable the option "Shutdown website after xyz minutes"
  • Disable the option "Automatic Recycle Application Pool"
• Run msconfig and shutdown unnecessary services
• Use PageBlaster (from Snapsis.Com) or turn on the core Compression

Since I don't know the specific settings of your computer, I can only suggest these. Let me know if there's any improvement.
