Not to disparage Orion (a great product!), but it's extremely unlikely that
Orion will approach IIS's speed of serving HTML pages.  IIS is highly
optimized using native NT APIs to perform this task extremely quickly.  Does
anyone have any benchmarks?

Of course, if Orion serves your pages fast enough for your needs, then it
doesn't matter if IIS is faster.
