While fumbling around in the IIS registry a few months ago, I came across the following :

Registry Path:

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM<
\CurrentControlSet
 \Services
 \W3SVC
 \Parameters

UploadReadAhead

REG_DWORD

Range: 0 - 0x80000000

Default: 48KB

When a client posts data to the server, this is the default amount the server will read before passing control to the application. The application is then responsible for reading the rest of the data. If you increase this size you should increase the amount of RAM on the server.

I remember thinking perhaps this might be related to the 48K Post Limit.. it seems almost too obvious but I haven't hide the time or the opportunity to check this out...
