RE: Websphere: a resource hog?

Cool.  WebSphere kicks butt.  ILE kicks butt.  The AS/400 is an awesome web
serving platform.  Now, remember, Nathan, we've had long discussions on CPW,
so I'll be darned if I'll get into that discussion again.  At this point, it
looks as though your ILE approach is ten times as fast as my WebSphere
approach.  But both are darned fast!  And I'm using the toolbox I/O
routines.  I'll have results with a data queue RPG server today or tomorrow.
