1) not *conceptually* different and
2) the file's not being parsed (unless ASP has no direct file
system access methods - I don't know, I've only used Perl
and Java for this).

I never suggested that there wasn't a possible performance impact.
Still, your diagram's wrong.
client ->
web server request handler ->
web server* request servicer ->
system file I/O handler ->
web server* request servicer ->
client
* the web server "request servicer" can be a builtin module, or a
CGI program, JSP/PHP/ASP interpreter, whatever.
Whether performance in any given specific situation is an issue,
only you can decide. Me, I'd test before making assumptions :-)
Hope this clarifies,
