If you can get only these three in, and only that, it would help at least
me/WebWork *immensely*. Heeding your advice regarding the examples I sent to
you I've rewritten all tags to be reusable, and allow set-methods to be
called only once, so I should see a huge improvement in performance. If it
still performs bad, it's either my fault, or the rest of Tomcat :-)
