SharePoint is a current topic for me and I'd noted that the first call to any of my SharePoint sites was always slow first thing in the morning. A little research identified that the server defaults to restarting and doing some clean-up early every morning.
Also as a part of that research there are numerous pointers to Wake Up scripts but some are out of date. So if you are looking for a solution there is an excellent script available on CodePlex called SPWakeUp.
I set up a batch file for it and scheduled it twice - once for 0300 daily and again on server restart. This way my users will not have the 30 second wait the first time they hit on one of the sites.
I also configured the batch file to provide for spwakeup log files that have a date/time stamp in the file name so that the log is not overwritten. The batch file process for handling date and time in a file name is relatively simple for any Windows server.
