如何增强ASP程序性能(4)

技巧16：在任何可能时使用Server.Transfer，而不要用Response.Redirect

　　Response.Redirect告诉浏览器请求另一个不同的页面，这常常用于引导用户到登录页面或者出错处理页面。由于重定向强迫了一个新页面请求，结果是浏览器必须要与Web服务器循环2次，并且Web服务器必须处理一个额外的请求。IIS5.0引进了一个新功能Server.Transfer，它执行在同一服务器上的页面传输，这将避免额外的浏览器－Web服务器的数据循环，形成良好的系统性能，对于用户也有较好的响应时间。

技巧17：避免使用服务器变量

　　存取服务器变量导致Web站点建立一个特殊的请求并收集所有的服务器变量，而并不是你要求的那个变量。这类似于在文件夹中取回一个特殊的文件，要想取回一个文件，就得首先获取所在文件夹的信息。

　　不要存取非法的Request对象（比如Request（"Data"）），对于那些不在Request.Cookies、Request.Form、Request.QueryString或者Request.ClientCertificate中的项目，隐含就指向了Request.ServerVariables变量，而这些变量要比其他集合对象慢得多。

技巧18：调整Web服务器

　　有几个IIS调整参数可以提高站点性能。比如，对于IIS4.0，我们经常发现提高ASP ProcessorThreadMax参数能够产生重大的效果，特别是在那些要等待后台资源比如数据库或中间件产品的站点。在IIS5.0中，你可以发现调整ASP线程通道要比调整AspProcessorThreadMax效果更佳。

最佳的配置设定取决于应用程序代码、支持的硬件设备以及客户端的工作量。发现最佳配置的唯一方法就是测试。
