Actually that is based on OLD info. It is an urban myth these days
like alligators in the NY sewers.
the context switches don't happen. A page gets converted ONCE to many
response.writes the first time IIS sees the page. But older
IIS/ASP.DLLs had teh flaw you are talking about. Trust me hundreds of
hours of research on that one.
If he wants to make code faster he should use GETSTRING ala

and if he wants to make it more reusable with methods similar to:

http://www.learnasp.com/learn/rsfast.asp
actually kills 2 birds with one stone
