.NET Forum / Windows Forms / WinForm General / March 2006GetResponse delay
I do some peeking at files on the web in my program with code such as: WebRequest wr = WebRequest.Create(url); WebResponse r = wr.GetResponse(); I've noticed that the first time GetResponse is executed, it takes some 3 to 4 seconds. Repeating the same code in the same run is almost immediate. So why the delay the first time this is executed on each run? And can I do anything about it? >I do some peeking at files on the web in my program with code such as: > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > So why the delay the first time this is executed on each run?

Michael I've been using PCs for 20 years pal. Doesn't explain why the same url in a web browser appears instantly (it's only a small text file) yet GetResponse takes 4 seconds - there must be a reason for it, and I assume you don't know it. >>I do some peeking at files on the web in my program with code such as: >> [quoted text clipped - 10 lines] > > Michael > >>I do some peeking at files on the web in my program with code such as: > >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > takes 4 seconds - there must be a reason for it, and I assume you don't know > it. I see to possibilities. 1) There is a high overhead setting up the HTTP connection and the second time its reused... 2) The immediate code is compiled the first time and the second time its already present. That might be a side-effect of dotNET. 3) A round-trip to the server is expensive and the second time the cache is used (not too likely that this is the case). Of course combinations are possible too... - Joris > I've been using PCs for 20 years pal.

It's called cache my friend. Michael
