Unfortunately I have to use Windows Server 2003 as the company behind the application we're using is not supporting UNIX/Linux.
Windows also has performance utilities but they tell me that the server isn't heavily loaded at all. A good think would be to have a smaller access log just for statistics, like only one line per user access and not every file which transferred to the user (html, images, js and so on) ...
