How to speed up IIS in windows 7

After moving to Windows 7 I was experiencing performace issues with IIS, especially in terms of the actual loading of a given page. It seems that this is due to how windows 7 handles IP6 addresses. To remedy this, firstly try not to use localhost, use 127.0.0.1, Secondly perform the following changes:

- Navigate to this folder, "C:\Windows\system32\drivers\etc\"
- Open up the fule named hosts
- find this line: ::1 localhost
- Change it to this: # ::1 localhost
- Find this line # 127.0.0.1 localhost
- Change it to 127.0.0.1 localhost

Voila!
