I'm not a benchmarker, so no numbers from me, but based on what I know
of the architecture of ASP versus the architecture of JSP I'd put my
money on JSP in the scalability battle. VBScript versus compiled Java
running under HotSpot or the Exact VM. I can't believe VBScript would
be faster in the general case.
That's assuming all things are equal. They aren't really, since ASP
is pretty much tied to Windows and that right there sabotages your
scalability story. JSP being able to run (full strength) on Unix backs
up the claim that JSP can scale better. You don't even have to
recompile your code to move your site from NT to an E10000. :-)

Sure, it's standard, but only once you paid for the OS.

To my understanding, ASP is not nearly as open as JSP. For example, I
believe there's no formal ASP specification. (Please someone correct me
if I'm wrong.) Chili!Soft (http://www.chilisoft.com) does ship a
version of ASP for non-Windows platforms, but then you're tied to one
commercial vendor, and I believe (again, correct if wrong) you miss out
on many of the native COM/DCOM components that make ASP useful on
Windows.
