Re: Java Servlet v CGI Bin

[Mike Wills <Koldark@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Some can argue with me, but servlets/jsp seem to be faster becuase one they are 
running, they are kept in memory and you have have DB connections that stay 
connected. In CGI, the program has to load, connect to the DB, grab the data, 
close the connection, then send the data. Much more work.
