i think that JSP would be faster (in such project) than ASP.net(in Microsoft-IIS server).

I also think JSP would be much faster.

Love this blog, but are you on a 14.4 modem?? 30 seconds?? Not even close on my end, even had my parents who refuse to upgrade their dialup check. Maybe bad time online when you checked?

thought 14.4 modems are for collection only? I got satellite connection here. But as you said probably bad time when I check it ? today I got between 1.6 and 4 seconds for AJAX requests, but got also 6 and 10 seconds; still slow !! The page load is now below 10 seconds.

Ha, very true, just thought it was a funny exaggeration. I wonder if it's like some other sites I check during major storms, you know? They must get a hell of a spike during big storms. Who knows. It is 'beta' though, so I guess we'll see.

What are some advantages of jsp over asp &.net?

-> JSP vs ASP.net

JSP technology uses the Java language for scripting, while ASP pages use Microsoft VBScript or JScript.
The Java language is a mature, powerful, and scalable programming language that provides many benefits over the Basic-based scripting languages.

For example, the Java language provides superior performance to the interpreted VBScript or JScript languages. Because they use Java technology and are compiled into Java servlets, JSP pages provide a gateway to the entire suite of server-side Java libraries for HTTP-aware applications.

The Java language makes the developer's job easier in other ways as well. For example, it helps protect against system crashes, while ASP applications on Windows NT systems are susceptible to crashing. The Java language also helps in the area of memory management by providing protection against memory leaks and hard-to-find pointer bugs that can slow application deployment. Plus, JSP provides the robust exception handling necessary for real-world applications.
