Localization : performance using resource file with lot of languag

[sameer]

hi all,

VS 2005
.Net framework 2.0
sql server 2000

my Localized asp.net web application makes use of resource files to support
different language, it was supporting 3-4 languages but in the new versoin
that i deployed to production it supports 18 different languages and ever
since i been getting performance issues on even pages that have really no
code behind them but are making use of resource files. Prior version of this
with 3-4 languages was fast comparatively.

Can any one suggest the reason why it might have performance issue and how i
can improve it. One thing that i can think of is i did not compile the
website before dploying it but dont beleive that might be the reason for the
deploy.

thanks in advance
