Now Available: The IIS 7.5 Application Warm-Up Module
IIS is a demand-driven web server, i.e. IIS does things only when asked for. For example: an IIS worker process spawns up only when requests arrive for the sites that are hosted in this worker process. Without requests there isn't a worker process. This is great from a resource consumption point of view. Worker processes which don't run do not consume resources, memory in particular.
