"Rapid Fail" indicates that crashes are happening on your server when trying
to service a request.
It should not affect downstream bandwidth in any way at all... unless you
are running a rogue web application that is making requests to external
machines. IIS consumes upstream bandwidth, which is separate from what you
observe when you browse the web.
I honestly think that you are seeing something else that is wrong on your
server. IIS's behavior is just a messenger.

I checked for those things, though the real issue seemed to have been
"rapid fail" protection under the health tab on the props for the
default application pool. If I turn it off.. then the problem so far
hasnt come back. Rapid fail was set to 5 min intervals, which matched
how frequently the slowdowns would begin (then stop 3 mins later).
Not sure why this would affect things though.
