I've mentioned before that this blog is created using blosxom, which is Perl based. I'd observed that a lot of the GNOME guys used pyblosxom, the Python version. Now, I know that this is partly because you have to be a Python freak to be involved with GNOME these days but I figured there might be a performance improvement, so I did a little test with my blog. I set up pyblosxom on the same machine as I host my blosxom blog, made all the settings the same, but didn't include any plugins for pyblosxom (blosxom generates my archives tree using a plugin - that means extra CPU time to execute). Even with the archive plugin, blosxom still displayed the blog content faster than pyblosxom, so I'll be sticking with what I know, the Perl version.
