Right now there's basically two algorithms for finding servlets, one for
extraPathInfo, one without (yes, ick).  The one without can utilitize
caching a bit more.  No one (to my knowledge) has ever tested the two
cases.  There's been very little profiling of Webware, except for global
"how many pages can Webware serve" kind of testing -- but I'm not
exactly sure how you'd do it.  I suppose a global profile would be
sufficient for this, though.

IMHO, the performance penalty for extraPathInfo should be negligible. 
Doing a few os.listdir()'s shouldn't take that long, and you still get
some benefit of caching.
