Hi Ben. I see your point, but it's harder to deal with in those cases. I'd reckon most people on this list are using some type of shared hosting system anyway, where they CAN'T do that. Creating extra users in most databases I've used is a bit of a pain, and trying to tie in your application's

Agreed. I think that JSP in some cases would be faster because the JVM is always running. Really depends on the structure of the code and what's it's doing. The first time a JSP is run it'll compile, so it's slow, but after compilation exists its fine. If you're doing database stuff, that'll pr

You're comparing a framework to a language. ASP is a technology which allows code for different languages to be embedded in a file parsed by a webserver (IIS). To accomplish this, different languages need to be written as modules for that webserver. MS has VBScript (default language), JScript
