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

Scott,

I get your point but I am more saying that there should be no reason
why IBMi can't facilitate a ton of concurrent users as it stands.  Not
looking to ask IBM to make some major mods to their machine, I am just
thinking that we probably already have most of the capabilities we
need with the way the existing OS handles "caching programs" and
"caching jobs".  Know what I mean?
