ASP.NET MVC launching time

Question

I have a big application which I develop (ASP.NET MVC), it wasn't initially mine and I received it from my client. When I run it via Visual Studio, it takes about 2-3 minutes to launch.

I'm wondering what is going on after pressing F5 button in VS (except copiling and copying dll's, views, content to output folder).

Have you tried multiple browsers? – Ryan Searle Mar 17 '16 at 11:24 — Ryan Searle, Mar 17 '16 at 11:24
Yes, I think it is not related to browsers – Vnuuk Mar 17 '16 at 11:53 — Vnuuk, Mar 17 '16 at 11:53

If I had to guess I'd say that you're compiling the cshtml code and that can be very slow in older versions of visual studio. Check to see if you have

<MvcBuildViews>true</MvcBuildViews>

in your .csproj file.

see this answer MVC Application is extremely slow to build

I believe every time you launch it from Visual Studio it creates new dll files, hence the waiting. But I could be wrong.
