Speed - web.config value cached vs. uncached

[Craftor]

Hi all,

I'd just like to get your thoughts on what would be faster overall - caching values from the web.config file, or just reading them as required.

Caching would obviously add overhead to the server memory but I'm curious as to whether it would give any significant performance gains.

Thanks as always

I'm pretty sure config is cached by design. If not I don't think reading the config is where a bottleneck will lie. If you're looking for performance gains use a profiler tool and start with the biggest pain points.

Why not just try it? Add tracing to your page and then try boh methods. I'd be suurprised if there was any noticeable difference though.
