Performance Efficiency

[Adrian]

In terms of performance efficiency which is better Servlets or CGI. If you could provide reason it would give us a wide knowledge in this area.

The main advantage of servlet is the server creates single instance of the servlet that could handle all request of client also in case of servlet information could be maintained between requests. This is an example where servlets could perform well than CGI.

I also believe that servlets are more efficient as said by ashlee. Also added to this if CGI performs fast operation the overheads associated with it is more than the lesser execution time achieved.
