Yeah, as I said in that post, there isn't even as much overhead as you'd guess, since after the connector loads for the first request, it ignores any non-mapped extensions. It will say that it checked, in the Apache HTTPD log file, but it doesn't, really.

It appears that the servlet mapping is also done at that initial connector load. So it really isn't listing to "/*" (every request), even if it looks from the logs like it is. Makes sense to me, heck that'd slow stuff down (negligible for a small, low traffic site, but probably an impact when under a heavy load). What do you use for load testing, Dave? Hopefully something Free, pref. Open Source?
