So you would agree that IIS is indeed that much better (my many factors I'm told) in serving up
static content? It seems odd to me that serving up 12k of image files and 20k of a css file puts a
heavy load on an app server, but I must be misunderstanding something. (I realize its mulitple
connections, not just one person mind you.)

It seems to me that only in the last couple years has SEO really come into its own, and has run up
against this problem. For a site like Amazon, yahoo, ebay - it really doesn't matter - they are so
pervasive they need not worry about rankings. But for the average business, it is a big issue.
Moving up a notch in Google rankings can easily mean more money for your enterprise or business.
