Re: Which scales better? J2EE, PHP, or CGIDEV2?

 So I found a case where the Zend server cannot provide equal or better 
results than a Java server on other hardware?

And now it is about "business work" instead?   Oh well.

I don't disagree with Zend providing business value on the IBM i - 
especially due to the easy save-reload cycle - but I think you may 
underestimate what is possible elsewhere these days.
