all,</SPAN></SPAN>
<P><SPAN style="FONT-FAMILY: MS Sans Serif"><SPAN style="COLOR: #000000">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

and given most are limited by disk / database access, the cpu cycles don't
figure at all.</SPAN></SPAN>
