I have runned a full dynamic site with ASP, and it needed restart every week
or it would crash because of an out of memory error, + if you look on the
old benchmarks from the orion team you see that dynamic performance degrade
over time with IIS 4.0, im not to confident about the IIS 5.0...
Yes IIS is fast providing you use only static content, but when you use
dynamic content, you get problems, and the reason IIS is fast for static
content is because they hooked the server into the kernel of windows
(smart). Same thing is coming to linux kernel pretty soon (the unstable
versions have it allready)...
But how many sites use static content. As long as i have been working, you
will find maby 10% static content, and then dynamic performance is the thing
that is important (and stability ofcourse).

In my experiance, for serving static HTML, IIS provides high performance and
reliability. It also does very well with dynamic content provided by ISAPI
DLLs. Why do you believe it is "full of memory leaks"?
The benchmark on the Orion web site rightfully points out that Orion JSPs
are faster than IIS ASPs, which is mostly because JSPs are compiled (to Java
code) while ASPs are interpreted. (Note however that apparently ASPs will
eventually be semi-compiled, boosting performance.)
