CJ Holmes, one of the Webstar developers wrote on the Webstar list that
AppleEvent driven CGIs are generally faster than others. I never saw the
speed of AS CGIs as a problem. For me, they are as fast as static pages, a
human cannot see a difference there. Of course, if you have apps with your
CGI involved it takes longer, but that's with other techniques the same (if
can connect apps there!). And of course it matters of how you write your
code, but that's with other techniques the same...
The only problem i see with AS CGIs is the re-entrancy issue (LIFO concept,
last call goes first out and overrides global variables from previous call
in progress).
AS CGIs rules.
