It wasn't me who used OptimizeIt, I think it was Sylvain.  There are a number
of issues with XSP, though.  Here are a few:

1) Classloader issues.  sometimes the XSP system won't let go of the reference
    to the old class, causing the new XSP to be recompiled every time and never
    used.  This was fixed when we moved the generated XSP from the root of the
    work directory.

2) The wrapping the calls of the XSP to handle "return" calls in the middle of
    a SAX stream.  I think we decided to remove this "feature", but I don't recall
    if it was actually done.

3) Evaluation on whether the XSP is current takes a long time, and incurs
    accessing the filesystem with each request.  Making the compiled elements'
    management asynchronous will help in this area.
