Don't know about that, but I do know that having pages without ASP
in them as .asp files *will* result in a performance hit, as the ASP
interpreter
has to go through the file before it gets sent out.

Which means...
<tip type='IIS performance gains for SSI'>
If all your ASP page has in it other than static HTML is a simple include
(ie one which doesn't do any processing, just drops a common (say)
footer into the page), don't have it as an .asp page.
Run it as .stm (ie a 3 char extension version of .shtml) as this interpreter
is a lot quicker than the ASP one.
