Hmm, well, if you're ONLY using IIS for this, I am pretty sure it will
get swapped out of memory when that memory's needed elsewhere and have
little effect on performance. You might try it, anyway.
Another thing you could do, however, is use the Windows telnet service
(be sure to block it from the Internet, as it is not secure). It
should be possible to script Terminal to log on to the Windows box over
Telnet, get a DOS command prompt, and run the script that way. The
telnet service should have a lighter footprint than IIS.
