An article on MSDN published a quick roundup of ten tips for achieving high-performance in your ASP.NET web application:

1. Return multiple resultsets from your data access layer
2. Use paged data access to only return the data you need
3. Use Connection Pooling
4. Use the ASP.NET Cache API to cache frequently used, rarely changing information
5. Cache frequently used request-specific information for the duration of the request
6. Process as much in the background (offline, out of the request) as possible
7. Use Page Output Caching and Proxy Servers (mmmm…depends)
8. Run IIS 6.0
9. Use Gzip Compression
10. Reduce Server Control View State

This is a great list. We’re running 9/10 on this (we don’t cache page output because everything is dynamic), and the web servers are pretty much idling most of the time.
