MSDN vs. Google
Here is a small experiment, I want to read the documentation for IDispatchMessageInspector
- Go to Microsoft MSDN search page: http://search.msdn.microsoft.com/search/Default.aspx
Load time: ~15 seconds or so - Put IDispatchMessageInspector in the search input field and hit go.
Load time: ~8 seconds - Go the second result:
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.dispatcher.idispatchmessageinspector.aspx
Load time: too damn long!!
Just to give an idea, here is the wget output for this address:
wget http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.dispatcher.idispatchmessageinspector.aspx
--00:59:48-- http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.servicemodel.dispatcher.idispatchmessageinspector.aspx
=> `system.servicemodel.dispatcher.idispatchmessageinspector.aspx'

That is right, over a minute half a minute to download just the HTML content of a single page, over two minutes just to get the simplest page to load.
Let me contrast that with the comparable experience:
- Go to google.com
Load time: faster than I can measure - Put IDispatchMessageInspector and hit enter
Load time: ~2 Seconds - Go to the first result's cached content
Load time: ~7 seconds
You know what the real sad part is? The google approach is faster than locally installed MSDN!
