Slow first Time in ASP.NET applications

Well, this is a recurrent topic with ASP.NET:Why is the first page load always so slowjQuery152032498610322363675_1363786231988?

I don't think there is a definite answer but I can think on some explanations:

• ASP.NET applications by nature exhibit some degree of delay upon initial access to the site. This can be due to JIT compilation, caching, etc. 
• Note that it is also a common effect on some sharepoint sites. 
• Some people on StackExchange attribute this slowness to: " The IIS application pool is shut down after 30 minutes of inactivity. After that, when you make a request IIS basically has to start the website up again, which leads to the behavior you are describing. You can change the idle time of your website in iis though to avoid it."

Silverlight ObservableCollection with AddRange

Silverlight is when you have to add a lot of items.
I know, I know maybe you should choose another way to show that data,
but leaving philosophical-ui design discussions, the real problem is that
usually those components are bind  to ObservableCollections.

ObservableCollections are a bit of an exhibitionist.
Each time you add an item it will yell

Hey!! Yoo-hoo! HEY!!! YOU!!
I'm HEREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!
Look at me!! Look at Me!!! Look Mom No Hands!!! Look Dad no Feet!!! HEY!!!!!!!!

So if you have some code like:

for(int i=0;i<10000;i++)
{
    comboItems.Add("item" + i);
}

A nice thing will be to be able to do something like:

var items = new String[10000] 
for(int i=0;i<10000;i++) 
{ 
    items[i]="item" + i; 
} 
comboItems.AddRange(items); 

And then provide just ONE notification of Collection Changed instead of a lot of
little cries for attention.

Well that is the reason for this new version of ObservableCollection that I call
RangeObservableCollection:

using System;
using System.Collections.ObjectModel;
using System.Collections.Generic;

namespace Utils
{
    public class RangeObservableCollection<T> : ObservableCollection<T>
    {
        private bool _suppressNotification = false;

        public RangeObservableCollection() : base() { }

        public RangeObservableCollection(IEnumerable<T> collection) : base(collection) { }

        protected override void OnPropertyChanged(System.ComponentModel.PropertyChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (!_suppressNotification) base.OnPropertyChanged(e);
        }

        protected override void OnCollectionChanged(System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs e)
        {
            if (!_suppressNotification)
                base.OnCollectionChanged(e);
        }

        /// <summary>
        /// Adds a collection suppressing notification per item and just raising a notification
        /// for the whole collection
        /// </summary>
        /// <param name="list"></param>
        public void AddRange(IEnumerable<T> list)
        {
            if (list == null) throw new ArgumentNullException("list");
            _suppressNotification = true;
            foreach (T item in list)
            {
                Add(item);
            }
            _suppressNotification = false;
            OnCollectionChanged(new System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedEventArgs(System.Collections.Specialized.NotifyCollectionChangedAction.Reset));
        }

    }
    
}
