<div>I'm not using IronPython but I am using IIS with a <a href="http://asp.net">asp.net</a> front end. I haven't see the performance issues because once the images are on disk it flys.</div>

<br><br>It was something about urllib not working at the time. IronPython 2 or<br>something like that was supposed to change the situation. I never<br>followed up. It would probably be worth making the attempt before<br>writing your own, but don't hold high hopes.
