OFFTopic: Jsp vs velocity templates

[Reynir Hübner <re...@hugsmidjan.is>]

Hi, 

I am wondering about the performance difference between Velocity templates and JSP.

A test made by Rickard Öberg in Aug. 2001, was showing the difference being : 

>     JSP - 240-480ms
>     Velocity - 50-70ms


Since a lot has changed in tomcat and jsp. 

Has anyone any figures on what the difference is right now ?
Is velocity still a lot faster ?


Thanx, 

-reynir

I have not run benchmarks (or use velocity) but velocity will probably still 
be faster. Velocity will run faster on tomcat 3 than tomcat 4 or 5. This is 
mainly due to constraints imposed by the servlet specification that extra 
checks need to be done as well as certain assumptions (don't ask can't 
remember) don't hold for servlet spec 2.2 vs 2.3 and 2.4.

Of course since 2001, computers speeds have increased so running the same 
benchmark on a newer computer might skew the results.

Since the introduction of JSTL (and better support for EL in JSP2.0) - I'd be 
curious to see rewritten pages(to reflect enhancements made to both display 
models) and a new benchmark.
