First, let me use one sentence to let out some frustration: My god, developing for SharePoint is a f-ing mess! OK, sorry, let me focus in on 1 specific scenario.

Our team has built a site using Sharepoint and a few custom webparts. We've noticed that the site takes a while to load when first accessing the site in the morning. Subsequent accesses are fine.
