Scheduled tasks

Can we have a scheduled tasks type system where something can automatically call a web page once every 15 mins or something like that to keep the web application "in memory" so that IIS doesn't have to JIT compile everytime which then avoids the slow first loads?

I've noticed that if an asp.net 2.0 application is getting a fair amount of hits and is kept in memory the JIT compile is not repeated and thus everything seems fast.
 
If you've got an account running on a Linux box here, you can set up a cron job to do this for you. Alternatively, if you have a client PC that's on most of the time, you can set up a Windows Scheduled Task on it to call your page.

There are tutorials at the following locations on creating Scheduled Tasks:

Using IE, the task you'd be scheduling would be something like:
