>CGI doesn't always scale well?  Under what conditions?
Joe Pluta did some due diligence on this topic if I am not mistaken.  The
results were published on a website he was hosting but I can't seem to find
the link to it.

Here is one thread you may want to check out:

Some other links to consider:

The thing to remember is HOW you do things in Java will usually make or
break it.  In RPG there aren't nearly as many "tweaking" areas so we just
take it as RPG being faster than Java in all cases. The thing to remember is
that running Java apps from the command line is going to differ greatly from
when run in an app server like Tomcat (WAS just isn't fast so I not going to
try and defend it :-).

Java is getting more efficient with each release of the compiler and it will
be interesting to see some language comparison results in the future.  The
bummer is that you can't test languages like .NET against RPG.

CGI doesn't always scale well?  Under what conditions?

RPG is the native, fast way to do anything on the 400.

In general, I have seen RPG-CGI scale better than JSP.  If it's the same
box, and the same type of application, you will be able to put more users on
it, if it's written in RPG compared to Java.
