IIS 6.0 w/PHP pages loading slowly

Hmm... I see no correlation between CGI vs ISAPI and response speed from
locally or over the net.

On a cold server, the initial request to a page served by ISAPI will always
be slower than a subsequent request to the same page since there is a
process creation cost on the initial request which is not incurred on the
subsequent requests. For a CGI, the process creation cost exists for all
requests.

Does this happen for :
1. purely anonymous pages
2. First and second requests to the same page
3. Do you have some sort of authentication (including custom) going on

Had to switch back to CGI

Ours was extremely noticeable on a regular phpbb forum

ISAPI caused the board to load extremely slowly

Changing back to CGI sped it up dramatically although we get those CGI
Errors in cgi mode

Pages were served anonamously
