If the latter, does that mean that an assembly .LoadFrom() is redundant on
subsequent requests?
AppDomain is created on the first request, when it's not yet up - one per
virtual directory. After that it's reused (unless shutdown/restarted for
some reason when of course its restarted/created).
Once assembly is loaded, there's no need /(way) load it again until
AppDomain restarts when assemblies need to be loaded again.
