Price vs. Performance?

[Jon.Paris@xxxxxx]

 >> IBM's Webfacing tool will be released soon.  After folks convert their
5250 screens to JSP's, then realize the new user interface takes 3000% more
CPU time, they're not going to be happy.

I haven't run any timing trials but from what I've seen so far Webfacing
runs pretty quickly - in side-by-side tests of some apps the Webfaced
screen comes back faster than the 5250 emulator (note I said emulator _not_
"real" 5250).  It would run even faster (well cheaper anyway) if Rochester
permitted the webfaced version to run as a batch process.

PS.  People - isn't it about time the P*ss*ng contest part of this thread
died?  There's a limit to how many times I want to listen to certain people
(who shall remain nameless but know who they are) insult each other in any
given day.
