I can process a gigabyte logfile in under a minute on my desktop. So 
gigabyte sized logfiles could time out, especially if the server is already 
moderately busy doing other work. But logfiles upto hundreds of megabytes 
shouldn't time out on moderate hardware.

Anlgform.pl has worked fine for people on IIS5. The obvious questions for 
troubleshooting anlgform are - do other perl scripts work okay? Does it work 
with a small logfile? Can you tell from CPU utilization if Analog is even 
running (Analog will try to use all avaiabe CPU, so if it runs, you should 
be able to tell by monitoring CPU utilisation). And what do the server logs 
say (the event og and the IIS web log - what status code does the request 
return?).
