ISAPI extensions have a strong performance advantage over CGI applications for several reasons. First, ISAPI extensions can be configured either to run in a separate process, or to run in the same memory space as the Web service, conserving server resources. Second, instead of loading an executable for each request, ISAPI uses thread-safe DLLs that are loaded only once. Finally, ISAPI uses Win32-based APIs to communicate with the Web service, which is much faster than CGI methods..
