This was a while ago, so I may not remember all the details, but off the top of my head, web servers used in the test were dual-core 2.4ghz machines with 4 GB RAM running IIS6 on Windows 2003 server.

Were you serving a limited number of files?

yes, i think that it was about 10 files or something like that. IIS also caches recently open files, and that is exactly why frequently accessed stuff should be put into static files.

AFAIK, Windows caches recently opened files but unfortunately I don't have enough information on how exactly it does this (tried to search the web but seems that there's no much information available on the subject, so, I still need to do some more searching), so, could you please give more details on this? Were you serving a limited number of files? This is probably not the real situation on production servers, so, could the test was possibly affected by Windows File caching? Sorry for spamming your comments section :) Well, actually there’s something I wanted to point out ..

I could only suggest that you may also add Response.WriteFile() as it could very possibly be used in an application for serving static files .. actually I'm currently working on a site that includes a social network section so I have profiles for users, I know that IIS can serve static pages faster but unfortunately I have some dynamic parts on the profile pages (e.g. the sign out link in the page header if the users is logged on .. etc), so I'm considering using Response.WriteFile() to work around this. One more thing, could you please add the machine specs (esp. the CPU, memory and OS)? This would be really useful. Again, great article, Keep up the good work!

Re IE and html — it does not honour the headers every time, we had big problems with that. when we renamed the files to .xml, everything worked fine.
