And about this question:

I don't think visiting web sites and seeing if they have .jsp tells you much
about what they are using.  It also tells you nothing about what performs
better than others.  There are too many factors (way to many) that determine
how quickly a site responds

Servlets and JSP are the same thing.  JSP pages get turned into servlets.
The code might not be as efficient as a well coded servlet but in the end
they are the same thing.

Also, if you see .jsp on a page it does not mean servlets are NOT involved.
I highly doubt you would see an 'big' workhorse site composed entirely from
JSP as it would be a BEAST to maintain.  A good number of the sites I have
worked on or architected use JSP, Servlets, and Beans together and might
look like they are all .jsp.

Jatin,  If you want some documentation on how some really big sites 'might'
have been designed I highly recommend IBM Redbooks.  There are tons of them
dealing with this subject, and while I think some of their designs are way
over-architected, they are a GREAT way to learn about how things are done
(using IBM products of course).

I don't think WalMart is running JSP.  The suffix for pages is JSP, but if
you look at some of the html (particularly the query string info pointing to
the session id), you'll see things like BV_whatever; I think this means the
site is using BroadVision, which uses a completely different technology,
although it does use the same suffix.
