There is a point that if you buy APC-Cache and the encoder you are spending a lot of cache. However there is APC, PHPCache and others that do the job.. but not as well. PHP is mildly flawed in the sense that it is somewhat intentionally crippled so Zend can make a profit from sites that adopt it and get big.
However with cacheing of the html and whatnot, you can get around all this and have your costs be at 0 of software.. just time to implement.. -----Original Message----- From: Todd Williamsen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 2:11 PM To: 'Cathy Cunningham (Blue World Lasso Evangelist)'; 'Chuck "PUP" Payne'; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [ANN] Blue World Announces Lasso vs PHP White Paper Can you provide a NON-BIAS so-called "TRUE comparison"? I would be curious on what Blueworld has to say. Also, why do you think the TCO is lower with lasso than PHP? I don't get it, there is no cost to own it, just to develop it. And if you develop with PHP correctly, then the TCO is low. Here is my basic TCO comparison: Lasso Software Pro $1199 PHP $0.00 Learning Lasso $2500 PHP $0.00 Development (hr avg) $75 PHP $75/hr. So to me, Lasso isn't worth switching. I would already be $3700 in the hole without even touching it! -----Original Message----- From: Cathy Cunningham (Blue World Lasso Evangelist) [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Thursday, March 07, 2002 12:37 PM To: Chuck "PUP" Payne; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [ANN] Blue World Announces Lasso vs PHP White Paper At 1:19 PM -0500 3/7/02, Chuck \"PUP\" Payne wrote: >But who wants to pay.

If you do a true comparison in features, you'll see that a PHP-based solution (with commercial add-ons) costs over three times the cost of Lasso. Then there's also the (TCO) total cost of ownership where due to productivity gains in using Lasso, developers end up saving lots of time (e.g. money) compared with using other tools. Then there's also the fact that when you buy Lasso Professional 5, you're also supporting MySQL AB as each copy purchased puts money in their pockets. And, this is a good thing to ensure the future vitality (and growth) of the MySQL market. It also gives you peace of mind in knowing that you have a commercial license of MySQL, which can help ease liability and other concerns that may otherwise be present in certain organizations who may have concerns using just GPL products. Then there's the issue of quality. With Lasso Professional 5, no stone remains unturned with respect to ensuring Web developers have the highest quality offering both in terms of features, documentation, support materials and more.
