title: Something faster than HttpHandlers?
body: <p>What is the fastest way to execute a method on an ASP.NET website?</p>
  
  <p>The scenario is pretty simple: I have a method which should be executed when a web page is hit. Nothing else is happening on the page, the only rendered output is a "done" message. I want the processing to be as fast as possible.</p>
  
  <p>Every single hit is unique, so caching is not an option.</p>
  
  <p>My plan is to use an HttpHandler and configure it in web.config (mypage.ashx) rather than a regular .aspx page. This should reduce the overhead significantly.</p>
  
  <p>So my question is really: Is there a faster way to accomplish this than using HttpHandlers?</p>
