Where I am using Windows it's W2k, and I am not seeing any
problems. No plans to even look at W2003, new sites are
getting Linux :)

It does sound like a caching 'problem'. Is it being paged
out, and having to reloaded - i.e. what is the memory
situation.

I don't touch IIS either, Apache2 and PHP4 work fine with
FB1.0 and FB1.5, with a reasonable performance improvement
from 1.5, but nothing that I have 'bench marked'. Old stuff
will stay FB1.0, and all new stuff has only been FB1.5, so
real comparison is not practical ;)
