Hi Tony

I have seen from the mailing list that javascript apps like richtext editors can cause problems. It also hasn't quite settled down yet: there are at least two routes being explored: deliverance itself, and xdv ("a subset of Deliverance using a pure XSLT engine. With xdv, you "compile" your theme and ruleset in one step, then use a superfast/simple transform on each request thereafter."). I wouldn't be surprised if banjo is lagging. > The advantages to creating a Drupal only module are as follows...
