While taking a look at the new Ajax library Microsoft put online I noticed at the bottom of a certain page a link to an interesting whitepaper: Building high performance websites. It’s an interesting read by James Senior and Dan Wahlin.

These are the main topics being discussed:

The Microsoft Ajax Content Delivery Network (CDN)
Loading ASP.NET Ajax Scripts
Loading jQuery Scripts
The ASP.NET Ajax Library Script Loader
Using the ASP.NET Ajax Script LoaderLoading Custom
Script Combining 
Using the Script Loader when Debugging 
Using the Script Loader's Lazy Loading Feature to increase performance 
JavaScript Application Performance Tools 
The Download Time Optimizer (Doloto) 
Microsoft Ajax Minifier
Internet Explorer JavaScript Profiler 
Internet Information Server 7 Compression and Caching Options
