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:

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

What do you think, does this have any validity?

Thanks,

Brian Hann
