In theory, a hand-coded tag handler may use tighter code, such as directly calling utility methods implemented as regular Java classes instead. If there is a performance difference at all, it should be neglible for most web applications. In general, I recommend not to think too much about performance unless you've verified with a benchmark that it's really a problem.
Is it like, in the real world web app, they usually neglect the performance issue that will come up by custom tags implementaion? I can see that, in almost all of the project that I've done in the past, we didn't care that much on tag implmentation performance issue... But, nowadays, there are many implementations of cutom tags... We might need to think about the performance issue, since there are many alternatives...
And also I can figure out that that kind of phrase in the book is making the reader to think about the performance issue, in case they might have doubt on the difference between classic tags, simple tags and tag files implementation...
Thank you very much for your explanation on it, Mr.Bergsten...
