Re: PHP Vs ASP

I'll throw our hat into this ring as well... We did a few performance tests ASP v PHP a couple months back, and put the results up at http://www.tapinternet.com/bench.php3 Biggest bottleneck was, I think, the SQL7 server, as it normally logs all activity. This alone seems to slow it down, especially writing. Slow being relative of course - it's not a bad database, and is good for many things. It just happens that in our experience, MySQL is faster for most *web* projects.
