[DUG] delphi is fast-very fast

[Jeremy Coulter]

Well I would have expected PHP to be slower....or any scripted language for
that matter.
Its a scripted language, therefore it needs to be interpreted to produce a
result. Its no raw byte code like a compiled exe.

HI all, 


As with anything, it's horses for courses. Compiled web apps are a pain to
update compared to scripted ones, and with accelerators not that much
different in performance. I've yet to see a web app with such demands as
this benchmark test, and given most are limited by disk / database access,
the cpu cycles don't figure at all. 


good night, 


Gary
