True; and re: ASP pages taking extra parsing, on IIS5, it does a quick check
for any script content before it bothers parsing the whole page, so the
performance hit versus a completely non-parsed page isn't as severe as it
was with IIS4.

I don't work on huge sites, so I've gotten in the habit of using .asp for
all my files. All the SSI gets parsed, and if I use VBS, that works, but if
the page is static, there's just an unnoticable cost to parse it.
