Also PerlIs is not two times faster. The execution of the script is just as quick in both, the engine that runs the script is the same. The difference is that with perl.exe the webserver has to create a new process for each and every request. It doesn't for PerlIs. PerlIs runs inside the IIS process (or the AppPool) and no new processes are created. So the smaller the scripts, the bigger the difference. In both speed and memory footprint.
