Mind if I ask a nit-pick of a performance question? Currently
speed and performance are of upmost importance (I'm currently involved in
a mod_perl vs JServ development race). That being said, isn't pushing a
handler onto the request stack slower than predefining a handler that the
request falls through to? I could be wrong and haven't tested things
otherwise, but, it would seem like pushing a custom handler (granted it's
already compiled into byte-code) onto the stack at the time of the request
would take slightly longer. I suppose I'd be who of me to test this
assertion, but if you have any idea as to wether or not this case ahead of
time, I'd be greatly interested in hearing about your past experience.
