Yeah, but try deploying that newly-compiled application to thousands of users all over the world in nineteen seconds. Server side tools have different design forces, and therfore different tradeoffs.
Well, even on the server side human labour should be extremely expensive. Faster turn-around -> cheaper, faster development.
What do I do in these 19 seconds?
You catch up on Zope mail -- what else? :)
Kicking off an C++ background build, for instance :-> Slamming a few newbies in the Borland Delphi and Borland C++Builder newsgroups for not doing the RTFM exercise ;-)
FWIW, it takes my (almost empty) ZServer about 3.5 seconds to restart on Linux.
In the light of my database packing experience, it seems as if I should get myself the Zope source code for compiling wherever ZServer boots up fastest (BeOS anyone?) :-)
