The performance of servlet/JSP containers varies quite a bit, so you might
want to experiment with some others. We use Resin (http://www.caucho.com) on
WinNT/Win2K, which is definitely fast, although I don't have any hard
numbers. Although we typically don't have as many <bean:write> tags as you
mentioned, we do use large numbers of <bean:message> tags for localization
purposes.
