	FWIW, more on changes to IIS/ASP under Win2K, from MIND (04/99):

"IIS 5.0 now includes some initial-check features that will examine an ASP
page to make sure it has server-side scripting prior to forwarding it to the
ASP parser for processing. The efficiency of an ASP retrieval is not equal
to that of a simple HTML file request, but it does represent a significant
improvement compared to the processing routines of earlier IIS versions. The
biggest benefit of this feature is that you may code your entire site with
.ASP extensions, whether or not server-side scripts are present. This will
permit you to more readily update your site and implement server-side
scripting on those pages that need it, but without the maintenance
concerns."
