On Squeak or VW?  On what kind of a machine?  Under what kind of load?
 Doing what?

By and large, Seaside hasn't been optimized for performance, or for
resource usage in general - it's been optimized for developer speed. 
It would not surprise me if a comparison between Seaside and <insert
your favorite web framework here> ended up with Seaside lagging,
perhaps by quite a bit, in memory footprint or requests per second. 
And if you're trying to build the next Yahoo, you probably won't use
Seaside, for that reason.

On the other hand, there are plenty of Seaside apps out there in
production use that do just fine, most with total users in the 10-1000
range and concurrent users in the 1-50 range.  If you need more than
that, you can hopefully afford to throw some hardware at the
problem...
