It's not _that_ slow, It IS that slow. Try to compare PythonScript loop and DTML loop with databases.
and it's very rapid from a developer-hours POV to assemble uncomplicated sites with DTML if you take account of it's limitations. ZPT?
I can see the point of ZPT for more complex applications, but it's really going to take me some time to get my head around that syntax. Therefore for now, DTML is perfectly fine. I'm happy to hear it's going to remain. Ah, that's answer for both of us! :-) ZPT for complex project, and DTML for _simple_and_or_small_. Here I agree with You fully.
