It's clearly a container-specific question whose most pragmatic answer is
probably best provided through benchmarking instead of speculation, but
extending TagSupport theoretically lets the container avoid creating a
BodyContent object for the tag body. This shortcut is behind JSP 1.2's
introduction of the IterationTag interface: the goal is to support the
common operation of iteration without incurring a performance penalty for
processing the body specially.
