Yup. With a standard JSF architecture (which means a page refresh between each page), I get 16 millisecond response time, which is theoretically 60 pages a second, although the web application server gets a little confused with that many requests.

But using Ajax, in which I basically have to get data and then insert it into the page (it's a little slower but a lot smoother), I get eight pages a second.

Both of those are using EGL calling an RPG back end - the JSF version is a loop of about ten lines of code, while the Ajax is more like 40 because it has to handle a little more.

Add to that the fact that painting the screen is all WYSIWYG, and that the communication to the RPG is through a call passing a data structure. I'm not kidding - it has the potential to revolutionize the way you develop and deliver programs.
