IIS requests could be slower if your log file directory is invalid or offline
If you are pointing your W3SVC log files to a location that is incorrect or goes offline, especially if it is a remote UNC share like \\server\logs – your requests on IIS 6 could be slower. The reason is that HTTP.sys wants to write an entry for each request and there is a delay when it tries to write to an invalid location. This would be even slower if it is an invalid UNC share, since the timeout waiting for a response would be longer.

Getting 64-bit or 32-bit applications working on IIS 6.0 x64
When running on x64 hardware, you have two options. First, to run in native 64-bit mode. This means all the applications running need to be 64-bit. The second is to run worker processes in 32-bit mode, which means all applications need to be 32-bit. This gives you good compatibility and performance is really good too.
