>> So the first request takes like 5s or something.
I haven't worked with IIS in more than five years, but couldn't you change some setting to infinity so the thread never sleeps... or something like that? I remember the "5 second" thing being a problem with commercial IIS apps we deployed, and that's always how we avoided it.
This feature dated back to the .NET 1.1 days and was a " web site" project vs a "web app" project. It operated much like PBP, in the sense you could ftp raw code and it just worked, but it could also just blow up in your face because the whole site was never compiled in one go.
