Speed up .net assembly load time during development
<p>I am working on a large (100s of assemblies) asp.net application and during development it can take a couple of minutes for the first page to load after a recompile. </p>

<p>I am told that much of the delay comes from JITing the assemblies and that this delay is proportional to the number (but not the size) of assemblies. I have not yet measured this. </p>

<p>We are working on architectural changes to improve the situation (combine assemblies, decouple applications) but I was wondering if there are any quick hit fixes that I can get by, for example, changing IIS settings in development or combining DLLs post-build.</p>

<p>We are using .net 3.5.</p>

<p>Any suggestions for me?</p>
