[FX.php List] PHP/FX vs. Lasso

[John May]

Both use FileMaker's XML interface to talk to the databases, which is 
going to be the limiting factor for the most part.

Some folks claim Lasso is faster, some claim PHP is faster.  My overall 
impression is it's pretty much a dead heat these days, especially 
considering how much faster processors are, etc.
