Mostly it's an issue of whether the application has a lot of dynamic
state transitions. If you have an application where the control flow
is known at design time and can be expressed statically, Fusebox is a
good choice. If your application has a dynamic control flow, Mach II
could be a better choice.

If you have a control flow that isn't entirely dynamic and you'd
rather use a "cool OO framework" then look at Model-Glue.

Yup. When my personal site - mostly static - was powered by Mach II,
rendering times were about 30-40ms. Now, powered by Fusebox, rendering
times are 7-9ms.

Definitely. There are several Fusebox books and many web sites. Mach
II has a handful of web sites.

Frankly, if it's just an average sized app, just pick a framework you
like - Fusebox, Model-Glue, Mach II, etc - and run with it. *A*
standard is more important than *which* standard.
