title: How to improve startup performance on IIS / ASP.Net
body: <p>I am using a particularly slow virtual web host (name withheld!) where disk performance can be very bad. Thus, the first hit to my ASP.Net web sites can take 1+ minutes to load. (After initial load, it's all in RAM and fine.)</p>
  
  <p>I am wondering if anyone knows a way to instruct IIS to pre-load the site? Is essence, emulate the first hit?</p>
  
  <p>I have played with all the precompilation stuff, it helps, but it's not a substitute for the above.</p>
  
  <p>Thanks!</p>
