What do you think?
Tomcat is APR aware via JNI (for connectors), and when it uses APR
has some *very* appreciable enhancements :)
Heh. The reason is because they are taking a different approach to IO,
right?
IOW, my guess is that if the Sun JVM used APR, nothing would change,
because the problem is the standard Java APIs, not the integration of
the VM w/ the OS services. My understanding is that the Tomcat peeps
just found a more optimal path to the OS services they needed for their
specific problem.
