The new "auto start" feature of ASP.NET 4 and IIS
7.5 provides a well-defined approach that allows you to perform expensive
application startup and pre-cache logic that can run before any end-users hit
your application. This enables you to have your application "warmed
up" and ready from the very beginning, and deliver a consistent high
performance experience.
Hope this helps,
