Is IIS really slower than Apache

We have a server with Microsoft Server 2003. We wanted to use Apache but, it seemed that we couldn't really use it with the other programs (control panels) that we wanted.

Are there problems with IIS that we should be prepared for.

I believe that script processing in IIS may be considered slower (although it's hard to compare). However, serving raw files (i.e. images, static HTML) is faster because IIS cheats and uses built-in OS features. On average I'd guess they're about equal in performance.

IIS shouldn't be too bad to set up for a newbie, as it's all GUI based. Obviously there may be some confusion understanding any IIS specific terms or concepts.

I'm not sure where to find it, but I read an article that mentioned that. Basically it said that IIS uses an undocumented API call that copies data straight from disk to network in kernel mode.
