I'll be speaking at the Cleveland .NET SIG tomorrow night.  The topic is Black Belt Performance Tips for ASP.NET, which will be a dry run for a session by that same name I'll be giving next month at Tech:Ed Developers in Orlando.  Some of the primary areas covered will be advanced caching techniques and asynchronous programming ...
