ASP Performance test Report (EXT) (v)

IIS defaults to processing VBSCRIPT, however we can see many examples of explicitly setting script language types through <% @LANGUAGE =vbscript% > statements. The following test analyzes the performance impact of this statement.
<%@ language=vbscript% >
<% OPTION EXPLICIT
Dim FirstName
...
/app2/language1.asp Fragment
Benchmark = 5.57 MS/page
Response time = 5.64 MS/page
difference = +0.07 milliseconds (increase by 1.2%)
As you can see, this statement has a slight effect on performance. So:
Configure the server default language as the language for the Web site.
Do not declare a script language type unless you are using a Non-default scripting language.
