Re: Re JBuilder

[Philip Jordan <pjordan@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

My experience and clasees do not support that assertion. My classes are smaller,
and my code operates faster as a result of more precision in the specification 
of
what I am using in the end product. Could be a Jbuilder quirk, but, I am looking
at 20 to 50% reductions in class size, as well as 15-40% improvements in load
times.

Cheers!
