Compared to [[PHP]] or [[Active Server Pages|ASP]], which both are server-side [[Scripting language|scripting]] technologies, ISAPI is a real executable part of the system - thus: having the highest performance possible. To issue a statement: A Microsoft webserver executes ASP and PHP by running an ISAPI Server Extension. Comparing PHP/ASP with ISAPI is like comparing Microsoft Office with Microsoft Windows: Office can never run faster than Windows - its operating system - itself.

Before switching to ASP.Net Microsoft's [[MSDN]]-Library (msdn.microsoft.com) was fully developed with ISAPI. Ebay still uses the "eBayISAPI.dll", although they declare that they are using Java-Technology powered by Sun.<ref>eBay was initially developed using Microsoft technology for both the front end and back and processing################### (re: The Perfect Store by Adam Cohen). They later adopted a Java application server for the request processing but the web client software still uses an ISAPI application.</ref>

That does it, he's a freaky nerd, yeah I think I'm better than Chuck Swirsky, freakin liberal, oh jesus, yeah.......catch the wave! HAHAHAHa oooooooooohhhhhh your love is fading, I still see the X, oooooh my piles! my brother is wearing the other one, but it's dirty,I think it's got blood stains on it......they are comming to get me!!

The greatest disadvantage of developing web applications at ISAPI level is the required development time, which is at least twice as high as using ASP or PHP.{{fact|date=July 2007}} Another penalty is the lack of native support for many standard web application features such as [[Session (computer science)|Session]] handling, which are common features in technologies such as ASP and PHP.
