Long pauses on when accessing application after a break

Hi, I seem to be having some long (15-20 second) pauses when going to my BugNet installations' home page if I haven't accessed it in a while. If I haven't used the site for an hour or so, it seems to take AGES for the home page to come up. There are no errors on the Log Viewer page - just some Application Start messages. Could there be a configuration problem, or perhaps it's trying to use a service or server which isn't available? The odd thing is, I'm not getting any errors - it simply seems to take a long time to start. Is this normal? No other websites hosted on the same machine seem to have this problem. Thanks, Nick...

This is normal for asp.net and happens when an asp.net application first starts(initializing the framework, just in time compilation for code, worker process starting). When the web.config is edited or the app domain is recycled (windows 2003) this may happen on the first load again. It is nothing to worry about.

Re: Long pauses on when accessing application after a break

Well I'm an ASP.NET developer myself and the longest load time I usually see is just the 3-5 second pause when it recompiles. I can't imagine that it's really spending 20 seconds just recompiling BugNet as it seems to be a relatively simple project. When I've got more time, I'll see if I can trace the application start process and make sure that there isn't something causing an unneccessary delay. While I think about it, there seems to be a bug in Global.asax.cs too... There is a line in Application_Start (line 41) which says: if (HttpContext.Current.Request.Url.LocalPath.ToLower().EndsWith("install.aspx")) return; According to the debugger HttpContext.Current is null in Application_Start as there is no connected user yet. I've had to comment this line out to get the application working or else I just an error message when I try and look at the site. Oddly, once the application has started, you an uncomment this line and it works OK (implying that it's only the very FIRST time that application_start is called that there's a problem. I'm really impressed with the application so far though! Far better than any other open source I've seen. Thanks! Nick...

Are you using IIS7?

Re: Long pauses on when accessing application after a break

Sorry for the delay - I'm using IIS7 on my development machine but I'm also hosting the deployed app on IIS6. I think they both have this issue. Nick...
