I believe it does a translation of CFML to JSP to Java byte code... In
addition to complied templates, there are a few things that Java does faster
as well...

Peter,
As for the Neo speed increase, I believe that comes about because the
templates are compiled down to Java byte code and that is what is running. I
believe the fact that the templates themselves are compiled probably
accounts for the speed increase.

I would doubt CF/Spectra is faster than Perl head to head in practically any
situation, but the development time is certainly faster.

I don't know, but you also don't mention any caching
strategies/optimizations etc. If you could provide me with a copy of the
script, unless it's a commercial product, I could run it against
our servers & see what kind of numbers we come up with on NT/Apache (IIS is
a hog & I think a cause of some of the difference, although probably not to
a great degree) with caching, SQL 7 on a
separate server, etc.
You can look forward to the promised speed increases of the Neo release.
Does anyone have any technical explanation why the system running on Java
would be faster than on C++? I saw the demo at
the conference & I'm willing to believe it is faster, I just would have
expected at best about a 1:1 speed ratio between the two.
