It tends to be longer to write Java than Perl, but it's much cleaner as all memory is shared and thread-pooling libraries do exist to restrict 1-thread (or few threads) per CPU (or the request is blocked) type of situation. However, I would stress that speed/threading is not the only name in the game. Reliability is another concern. Frankly, I have seen a lot of buggy servlets crash the entire servlet engine making a web site useless. Generally if there is a core dump in an Apache/Mod_perl process, the worst is that one request got hosed. I am resigned to the fact that all languages are buggy, and so I like engineering architectures that support buggy languages (as well as buggy app code).
