Benchmarks have shown a range of 80 to 250 times higher processing speed than ASP. The use of pure C++ allows the use of tons of libraries that are currently available. It is important to notice that the libraries written in C++ are tens or hundreds of times more than in any other language. It is widely accepted that the most skilled programmers in the IT market are the C++ ones. However, CGI, ISAPI and other frameworks where C++ applies, do not provide the web developer with facilities for efficient app
