Speed Up Sharepoint

I found this at the SBS Diva's site - thank you!!!

Sharepoint slow to load when first opening it up? Tweak it!
You can speed up the launching of the Companyweb site by changing the IIS
Application Pool.

Go to IIS Manager
Open the Application Pools
Right click on the DefaultAppPool and go to properties
Go to the Performance Tab
Uncheck the top box - shutdown worker processes after being idle.
