You can also use a custom 404 error page to catch missing urls(Or rewrite urls in this case), and then server.transfer to the correct page, or redirect.

Hi guys, I have a question: Currenclty I use a 404 pages to perform a basic URL rewriting, that works perfectly so I am asking why there is a such plugins on IIS? Is there a performance issue?

Cheers

Technically yes, a URL rewriting solution can be faster. However not everything people want to rewrite would generate a 404. For example "www.ask-leo.com" would work but I URL-rewrite it to "ask-leo.com" so all URLs are consistant.

Using a 404 pages to perform a basic URL rewriting is Good. But not support 304 Not Modified to increase performance by validation caching.
