Optimizing IIS7 for .NET development and debugging

Optimizing IIS7 for .NET development and debugging

It seems like I spend nearly half of the time in .NET twiddling my thumbs
waiting for IIS to spin up instead of actually developing.
It's pretty simple: Whenever I make a chance to a code-behind file, and
refresh, it takes anywhere from 15 seconds to over a minute for IIS to
recycle.
Is there any way to improve this? It's maddening.
I'm working in web site projects (not web application projects), running
Windows 7 and working in the .NET 4 framework. My machine is just a few
months old, with an SSD, so I don't think hardware should be the
bottleneck.
Also, I'm not even actually debugging the application most of the time,
though that runs even slower.
