cache duration has nothing to do with initial access.

About the best you can do with the current technology is to encourage your
users to sit and wait :-). If you are anal like me, you can write a little
utility that simply fires a webrequest periodically to keep the application
warm and toasty. That will change for ASP.NET 2.0 so sit tight.

I'd say that 30 seconds is unusually long for startup but I'm not all that
familiar with your implementation.

Not really, the startup cost is a feature (or fault) of .NET
