Some things to ponder: ZPT is slower than DTML DTML is slower than Python (filesystem at least) Python is slower than Perl (at least on average) Perl is slower than C C is slower than assembly assembly is slower than dedicated hardware So lets just skip on past the DTML is faster than ZPT (both are pretty slow) and implement ZPT in hardware! ;^) Its all a matter of levels. And from our perspective, development time is more valuable than CPU cycles. That's not to say that ZPT won't be optimized, but used as recommended it's quite acceptable. If your ZPT is too slow, I would say you are doing too much in ZPT. And no, DTML is not obsolete or deprecated, its just not the main templating language anymore, and not the focus of attention like it once was. -Casey On Wednesday 11 September 2002 12:15 pm, Andy McKay wrote:

The DTML point as replied to is important. Its not being deprecated.

One final semi-myth you might want to cover: its slow. -- Andy McKay Agmweb Consulting http://www.agmweb.ca
