For IIS5 and II6 you will see minimal difference (as in, not measurable). The
ASP ISAPI extension will parse the page, and compile it down to pseudo-code,
and cache this pseudo-code for reuse (what's called an ASP compiled
template). The compiled template will be used for future requests. For html
pages that have no ASP code in them, after the first request (when the
template is created), there is no difference between having the page
processed by ASP, and not having it processed by ASP.
Cheers

Subject: [thelist] Process all pages as .asp under IIS
Hello,
I'm being asked if I could configure IIS to process all .html/.htm
pages as .asp pages - mainly so that our relaunched site doesn't break
a load of bookmarks. Technically this is possible, but does anyone have
any experience on knock-on effects? I'm guessing that there's going to
be an increased load on the server, as each page will need to be parsed
before it's served - is that right, and how bad an idea is it, if at
all.
Justin
