What Redirect here is doing is not flushing the prior text.
The text built up before hand is largely the result of
a string literal being passed to $Response->Write(), so you
are really only wasting a function call with a bit of
HTML passed to it. I wouldn't sweat it.
Now, if you were doing some major database calls before
the Redirect() I would start to worry about the efficiency
of the whole deal.
If you ever want to see the perl version of the compiled
ASP script, create a compile time error in your script,
and set Debug to 2 or 3 and enjoy the show. This can help
you see what inefficiencies there may be with your script.
