Hi John,

Well, it's my understanding that compiled languages perform much better than
scripting languages for this kind of operating, due to the fact that the
script runs on top of the scripting engine, which in turn runs on top of the
web server.

I know a lot of control panels run either PERL, C{+/++/#}, Python.
