Hi Acidkewpie,
That iRule to disable ASM for static content was used when the ratio of ASM units to load was much lower. We were trying to transfer some of the load from ASM to TMM back when they used separate CPUs.
Since you have much more capacity with the current architecture, I would either pass all of the static content requests through ASM or add RAM cache. RAM cache works really well with ASM in that the first requests for static content are passed through ASM and then cached for future requests.
