Dave Watts has already done an excellent job addressing this statement, but I'd like to offer my opinion, as well. Generally speaking, I think this statement makes very little sense. How would you even go about comparing JSP to ColdFusion? When you run a ColdFusion tag, you are running a great deal of encapsulated functionality which does not exist in JSP. You cannot compare a JSP expression or declaration tag to a ColdFusion query or cfparam tag. The languages simply are not equivalent enough that statements like these can be creditable, at least not without a lot more context. I have seen JSP applications that don't perform nearly as well as a well written ColdFusion equivalent application would perform, however that is certainly not because JSP is slow. There are far too many implementation details involved in both a JSP and ColdFusion applications to make general comments like this.
