It's "which are there more of"? :-) In other words, if you have 100 $40,000 Sun servers, and you have two options: Throw some PHP on them all, to process this stuff in 0.03 seconds Throw some JS out, and let the client side process it in 0.06 seconds Note that you probably have zillions of visitors with over-powered desktop machines, for the most part. Which is going to make your overloaded servers "seem" faster? Not that I've ever done this, mind you, but I suspect that it's another case where a raw benchmark isn't really applicable in the Real World, for most cases where you'd even want to benchmark it.
