i've got a webscript in alfresco which is written in javascript. In this webscript i have a lot of recursion (foreach loops) to do to generate the values that are used by a freemarker template to build a JSON. The problem is that javascript is very slow (3700 milliseconds). I could achieve the same results by iterating in freemarker, but i don't know if it's worth the hassle writing complex loop in freemarker because i don't know if it's faster and i don't know how to benchmark it.
Anyone knows if freemarker is faster than javascript or does anyone knows how to benchmark freemarker?
