Thanks Dave. I think they could save resources and money in the long term with a little more optimization.

ASP.NET - YSlow and ASP.NET: 100 points "A" grade is possible
posted by samdnp(980) 3 years, 2 months ago 0
Uhhh... I don't think you are allowed to claim an A grade if you simply disable all the external stuff on the test page. Generally, most sites will do much better if they eliminate all the external slow stuff.

Very good martijn! Your site is very good.
$(document).ready() and pageLoad() are not the same!
Very interesting. I spent a couple minutes looking at the blog's source (curiosity) but it doesn't look like it uses jquery.

string.Empty versus ""
Guys, when you refute an argument, generally you need to offer a reasoned response. None of you even made an attempt. GOOD JOB!
Eric, there are lots of questions on the Internet about this topic. Therefore it is absolutely relevant to C# programming, because programmers have questions about it. It is the goal of my website to answer these questions. The author is 100% convinced of this :)
Exception Handling Basics
I agree that the article has some problems. A good place to learn about exception handling is in the BCL itself. You can see how that uses the ArgumentNullException, etc.
People, the article is objective. It backs up its statements with facts, as in internal BCL code and proof. It does not state that you should use "". It is absolutely not telling you that you should use "". I don't want you to use "" and I never said that "" is better. Also, the ""==null check is not ever executed, it is removed before runtime. In other words the benchmark tests an empty loop. I don't feel the article is deceptive in this regard.
offwhite, you make a very valid and correct point. I agree with you completely. As for the 0.00000002ms, I don't think that is correct. I was not able to measure any such difference. The "" loop contents are entirely removed and never executed. It is a benchmark of a loop with no body. I find it disappointing that not only do people not understand the technical content, they do not understand the premise of the article. It may be partly my fault because I did not make it simpler.
Also, regarding the missiles, I happen to know that my site is recommended as a reference on the NASA intranet :)
