Lose performance with large include files ?

[Guest_imported]

Hi,
I use a lot of self defined functions for my application. Because I re-use several functions in more then one page I would like to put all functions in one include file and then just call this include on every page. On the other hand, I don't need all functions on every page... so I'm making the code bigger then strictly necessary.
The include file would be about 1500 lines of code. Do I have to worry about performance?
Thanks,
Tomas

Eventually yes. Because ASP has to compile the code prior to running the page(s) every time. At what point it will start to degrade your performance is purely based on the server you are running the ASP on. All you can do is try it out..

It compiles ONLY the first time it is called and when the compiled ASP has been removed from the ASP cache. If every ASP was compiled every time there would be no ASP Web sites of any appreciable size.
See
"AspScriptFileCacheSize
This property specifies the number of precompiled script files to cache. If 0, no script files will be cached. If -1, all script files requested will be cached. This property can be used to tune performance, depending on the amount of memory available and the amount of script file traffic.
