Take a look at www.mindcraft.com for some recent servlet-based tests
and comparisons. One of the tests includes JServ running with Stronghold.
Some folks may consider Mindcraft to be not the most
objective when it comes to benchmarks -- Mindcraft are the folks that
released
the controversial NT vs Linux benchmarks last year. But anyway, you can
look at their numbers, look at thier methods, and draw your own conclusions.
Some of the reasons that app-server benchmarks are so rare are:
1) Performance is often more affected by the needs/structure/implementation
of your app
than the "raw" speed of the app-server. Its hard to get a test-suite that
is
representative enough to be useful.
2) Server vendors don't like supporting benchmarking efforts.
