Re: What About Price vs. Performance

["Nathan M. Andelin" <nathanma@xxxxxxxxx>]

You're the 2nd person to ask, Rob.  Well, I've been building a framework of
servers and service programs to make it easier to build Web applications
using ILE languages.  For the best possible performance, I decided to use a
message interface between the HTTP Server, and the ILE application.  The ILE
application is in a data queue wait state, until a Web request arrives.  A
message interface appears to cut CPU time in half, compared to dynamic CGI
calls.

The ILE application is in a loop.  The basic steps are:

1. Wait for request to arrive on queue.
2. Receive request.
3. Retrieve user state from previous requests.
4. Process request, build HTML response.
5 Save current user state.

The cycle continues.
