Well, rumor has it that.... I have been told by others on this list that per-CPU charges are normal for this type of application, And, that if you are deploying on robust installations with multiple boxes/CPUs, that support is more of a cost consideration than acquisition cost. All things being equal, lower costs would be better. But BlueDragon/Tomcat does not equal CFMXJ2EE/Tomcat or CFMXJ2EE/JRun -- so acquisition cost is only one parameter in the decision. Interesting, though, the Mac OS Server software does not charge per CPU -- here's a quote from the apple site: No per-user “taxes” Xserve lets you eliminate the most galling expense in your department’s budget: the per-user “tax” you’ve been obliged to pay for using server software. Since Xserve comes with an unlimited-client license for the UNIX-based, industrial-strength Mac OS X Server, you can serve thousands of additional users — without spending thousands of additional dollars in licensing fees. I assume that this is similar to Linux, and one of the reasons that Linux is attractive to large users.
