The server load is really low, processor below 10% most of the time.

I use frames in the main web page, so it could be frequent to have
simultaneous requests from the same client when he arrives to a page with
frames. I also have a "keepSessionAlive.asp" in a hidden frame, reloading
automatically every 15 minutes to avoid session timeout (I don't like it,
but was mandatory).

I have two dictionaries stored in session variables in the main site. They
are created and populated in the session_on_start function.
Maybe this is a bottleneck for the server.

Thank you for your help,
Roberto
