What is "heavy-traffic"...  100-200 hps ? More ?

What is "suitable" ?  Is it "suitable" to be five - ten times as slow as 
static page ( could be more. I'm surprized with the overhead of 
some popular servlet engines ).

Well... I assume we are not going to go into too much 
non-XSLT detail so this means we should simplify some things. 
( I in fact I doubt there are 2 heavy-traffic websites using the 
same architecture ).

So if simplifying some things :

If you're not using caching : I think the answer should be "no".

If you are using caching ( even brutal one, like, for 
example, AxKit ) - I think the answer should be : "yes".

> Using which processor?

Does not really matter, I think.
