The performance differences can be rather different based on configuration.
Internally, its the same jetty server, same jetty classes, we use nothing
special for embedded vs standalone.
The jetty distribution (what we call your 'standalone') has plenty of
configuration when it comes to connectors / thread pools / acceptors (to
name a few things) that can affect performance.
Looking at your snippet of the embedded version, one thing I noticed is
that you are not unpacking the war file.
So you will have some (slight?) performance hits with serving content from
a compressed war file.
The distribution's configuration is setup to unpack the war file before
deploying it into jetty server.
Also, note, that just dropping the war into the webapps directory is the
simple approach to deployment and give you little ability to control things.
Would recommend a context based deployment instead, that way you can also
control the context, security, and where things are unpacked.
For now, if you are just testing things out, create a ${jetty.home}/work
directory for jetty to use for the unpacked wars. (by default it uses
java.io.tmpdir which can cause problems on unix systems that periodically
clear out the /tmp dir)

You could probably adapt this example context xml to suit your hudson needs
