And it would most likely prevent a lot of people from being able to use it too, it's not the easiest to convince a webhost to just randomly register a few DLL's on their server :)
Not to mention a substantial coding effort would be needed to implement COM objects. And after all that work who knows if the application would perform better.
You can see how fast these pages process by looking at the message on each screen. For example this page took 0.2 seconds to load.
I'm aware of this

I work for an ISP so it's not a problem for me

I just wondered if anyone has any experience with it.
I had tried it once and have thought about doing it again. Release it as a mod for those who are intrested. But I don't have enough knowledge in working with dll files and how the variables and permissions work so I ended up with a lot of errors when I tried.
Use of .DLL-files as I see it is to "extend" the functionality of ASP ;)
The performence might be better but the most winning is the scalibility you gain when using .DLL-files instead of "pure asp" pages. You can split the application up in presentation - biz/bizdata - data layers or whatever layer architecture You like (i use the 4-layer implementation alot in my projects).
the only negative thing is that You must have "control" over the server to be able to register the .dll-files :( ... we are a minority who can ....
