Slightly off topic but I think interesting.  If this have been covered
sometime before about 4 months ago please point me there.

I've taken on the support of a website that was designed as a student
project.  To make them feel warm and fuzzy the site was done using Windows
NT, MS IIS, SQL Server 6.5, ODBC, and VBScript(?) (You've probably already
seen some of my pleas for help and information).
   After finally getting it operating again I have to get prepared for a
pile of hits.  My reading indicates NT/IIS/SQL Server don't do well on a
single machine, whereas UNIX(Linux)/Apache/PostgreSQL do.  The things that
strike me as performance plus' are the persistant database connections,
pooled connections, and just mod_perl in general.

So the question is does IIS have these features?  If not, or even if so,
would Apache and PostgreSQL on NT have these benefits?
