i have a strange issue where content of different templates load slow the first time. so say i have a "product" template, the first product page i load will take something like 30 seconds but after that, all products will load quickly (<2 seconds). this goes for all different types of templates. the first time loads extremely slowly and then all content of that template loads quickly thereafter (with the odd exception).

interestingly, this delay happens even with empty templates (i did this for testing purposes).

it's like each template is being compiled. is there anything i can do about this?

here is somebody else with the same problem https://our.umbraco.com/forum/templates-partial-views-and-macros/80840-different-templates-slow-on-first-load-umbraco-7-with-azure-hosting

thanks, Simon

--edit-- just tested the same site on AWS using a t2.medium instance (whereas i'm using s3 on azure) and it's much faster on AWS. the same issue is apparent in terms of a template taking longer to render on first attempt but it's much quicker. the same pages take 15 seconds on azure and 4 seconds on AWS. after initial template load, both environments load the content pages in less than a second.
