The reason I asked about JPython and performance was because I get a lot of developers telling me that Servlets are much faster. Now, that being said I am about to set up a website with servlets and pound on it till it bleeds to see if it is true.
One of the comparisons that would be nice on Zope.org would be the servlets vrs Zope. (JServ, Enhydra, etc).
Comparisons of this type are always quite difficult to pull off. I know that the applications I've created are rather Zope-specific. I designed them for Zope and they take advantage of Zope's features. It would be really difficult to try to do a reasonable comparison, because Zope has features the other systems don't. Sure, I could make a servlet that acts kind of like an app of mine, but how would I simulate retrieval of data from the ZODB and acquisition and the like? I'm sure that I'm paying a performance price for things like the ZODB and acquisition... but I think that price is offset by the productivity improvements that I get as a result. Kevin
