Traditionally this is correct. The reason is that traditionally IIS would hand off the request to a php.exe executable that got started once for every request. Obviously there is considerable overhead there. There have been several attempts to improve that execution model and allow one process to handle more requests before dying. Are you using the tradional model or something like FastCGI?
