ASP.NET 2.0 start up times

There appears to be a bug with the 2.0 framework, when a managed application that uses an Authenticode signature can take longer than usual to start. See http://support.microsoft.com/kb/936707.
Adding the following to your web.config knocked minutes off startup time.

<configuration>
 <runtime>
  <generatePublisherEvidence enabled="false"/>
 </runtime>
</configuration>

Using Sitecore this trimmed up to a minute off the start up times.
