Hello again,
This is really a quick question,
From this information:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh831548.aspx
I understand that fast-cgi, in Windows servers, only process http request and, therefore, if you are using https, there is no point in experimenting with InstanceMaxrequest (or any other variable) in order to increase the server perfomance.
Could any expert please confirm this assumption?
Thank you very much.
Not an expert, but I think your assumption is wrong. I like to think as HTTPS (HTTP over ssl) like this...
SSL provides an encrypted secure tunnel on tcp port 443 through which http traffic can flow. Normally, the https tunnel stops at the webserver and the http traffic continues on to the targeted framework eg php or asp.net as specified in the 'Handler Mappings' section of IIS. Therefore, the running of anything of https should not cause any problems other that resources need to be requested with a https prefix instead of a http prefix (sometimes referred to as the protocol handler.)

Thanks, Andrew. I wasn't sure myself.
I asked that because I tried to increase perfomance by modifying the FastCGI settings (such as Instancemax requests, etc), but I haven't notice any changes.
