Hosting ASP Web API in IIS Without All The ASP Overhead?

I've read from Scott Hanselman that a self-host console application of ASP Web API has 50% speed efficiency over a traditional ASP.NET MVC Web API project, since it doesn't have as much internal overhead.

My question is, what if I want to host a Web API in IIS? Can't use a Console Application, but still want to reap the benefits of not having the entire ASP.net framework overhead for only needing a simple web API?

It is 'theoretically' possible with OWIN. Some one asked the same question here.
