Ok, I found something. It's not exactly the kind of benchmark I was hoping for but it's still interesting. Here's a site in French that did a benchmark comparing PHP/Linux/Apache to ASP/Win2k/IIS with various databases in each configuration. http://tinyurl.com/2s3sa9 (translated by Google) For page compilation, the winner was PHP which was almost twice as fast as ASP. For dynamic list results the winners were: 1. ASP + PostgreSQL 2. ASP + SQL Server 2000 3. ASP + MySQL For dynamically posting a product: 1. PHP + PostgreSQL 2. ASP + PostgreSQL 3. ASP + SQL Server 2000 There are 2 things I learn from this. First, the answer to my original question? It depends. ASP seems to be pretty slow at page compilation, but if the code doesn't change much it's as fast or faster than PHP. Second, I'm gonna get me some PostgreSQL! :) I don't know how much of this is related to IIS vs. Apache, but I still find it fascinating. -- My Sites: http://www.techfeed.net/blog/ http://www.cfquickdocs.com/ http://cfformprotect.riaforge.org/ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Upgrade to Adobe ColdFusion MX7 Experience Flex 2 & MX7 integration & create powerful cross-platform RIAs http:http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;56760587;14748456;a?http://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion/flex2/?sdid=LVNU Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/message.cfm/messageid:268457 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/CF-Talk/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4
