Speeding up SharePoint (or any IIS hosted website)
A client of mine recently complained about the speed of their SharePoint portal. After playing around I found this very simple and useful solution to the client's problem. This is not SharePoint specific and can be applied to any site hosted in IIS.

Simple and effective. Share this post: email it! | bookmark...

If the URL should be serving existing content, the system administrator may need to add a new request URL mapping to the intended application...
