Sorry, not me, but I don't see why the database won't be
the bottleneck since
- you get as much processing as you can done in your select
queries
- if select queries are not enough, you can code special
procedures within the database server
- you can load the database server up with all the work of
transaction integrity.
Then the Python CGI programs just pipeline data and
format strings on the way by. And I don't see that
VBAScript for ASP is any speed demon, either.
