Performance is one of the reasons the JSP Standard Tag Libraries effort
was started (JSR-052 in the Java Community Process). Once a set of tags
are standardized, the JSP page compiler can be made smart enough to create
optimized code to implement them (just as it already understands what
<jsp:useBean> means).
In particular, conditionals and iteration are going to be included in the
first versions of the standard tag library (early access "soon"). So,
it's probably not worth huge amounts of effort to extend the logic tags in
Struts, if the standard versions of the tags will meet our needs.
