Someone willing to look into this?
The problem is indeed seems to that Tomcat 4.0 produces ridiculously large code when using taglib extensively. Perhaps it is also so slow because of this? I've put some effort yet to make the jsp-editors (and therefore the taglib) work in tomcat 4.1 and this is nearly finished (I think only one or two minor problems are remaining). I think tomcat 4.1 is now called 'stable', so perhaps we can as well advice to use tomcat 4.1 (as soon as mmbase 1.6 is released)? Tomcat 4.1 also produces much faster code.
