Hey guys, quick question I'm having an ongoing discussion with someone who makes several claims about TT's speed that seem to be contrary of the experiences of other people here. I'll just paste an excerpt:
--------------------------- Template Toolkit is a fine thing but it is horribly slow. I tested several template engines on different platforms with GTChat, and Template Toolkit was by far the slowest of all. It only has acceptable times with mod_perl. Template::Stash::XS doesn't help - zero speed-up. The test results are here: http://www.gtchat.de/templateengines/templateengines.html (only German at the moment, but the results are understandable anyway). SimpleTemplateEngine is the one used in GTChat by default and perfectly optimized for it's needs (it has been somewhat improved since this test), Embedder is an ultra-simple thing written by me, all other engines are only dummies to make existing Perl modules fit into GTChat. SimpleTemplateEngine and Template Toolkit are the only two with an own mini language, all other engines embed Perl code into the templates. Here the templates: SimpleTemplateEngine http://www.gtchat.de/templateengines/login.html EmbedderTemplateEngine http://www.gtchat.de/templateengines/login_embedder.html EmbperlTemplateEngine http://www.gtchat.de/templateengines/login_embperl.html (for HTML::Embperl 1.x) and http://www.gtchat.de/templateengines/login_embperl2.html (for Embperl 2.0) MasonTemplateEngine http://www.gtchat.de/templateengines/login_mason.html MicroMasonTemplateEngine http://www.gtchat.de/templateengines/login_micromason.html ToolkitTemplateEngine http://www.gtchat.de/templateengines/login_toolkit.html XPPTemplateEngine http://www.gtchat.de/templateengines/login_xpp.html http://www.gtchat.de/templateengines/templateengines.html --------------------------- What do you think, does this have any validity?
