IIS5/ASP3 improves on this, by providing a server-side approach to redirection, namely server.transfer, by transferring execution immediately to another page directly, avoiding the "extra round-trip" approach in IIS4. Much more efficient.

ASP Coding for Performance - Replace Response.Redirect with Server.Transfer
It is often useful to redirect to a different page from within your script. In IIS4 and ASP2 you would typically use response.redirect to do this. This would send a response to the browser to instruct it to request the new page - thus the browser has essentially made two page requests to the server.
