Well, I just ran a very naive test and it suggests that zpt may be about twice as slow as dtml.
I made a DTML Method, and a ZPT, identical to each other, containing only HTML: <html> Test </html> Then I ran the ab benchmarking tool against each method, thus: # ab -n 500 http://localhost:8005/zpt_test/dtml The results are reproduced below, along with the profiling information (sorry if it wraps badly) seb ------------ 1.
