We had a similar experience. We originally had a 4 cpu compaq NT
enterprise box with 1 gb of RAM, serving one website developed
using ASP. It was connecting to a backend CORBA based application
using a DCOM to CORBA bridge. The performance was piss poor. We
started hosting another website, and the performance went down 
the tubes completely. Probably some problem in the bridge, but
still...

We stood to lose a large amount of money because our client was
getting ready to pull the plug on the project.

I then took a spare single cpu Ultra-5 desktop we had lying around,
installed  Apache and Jserv on it, wrote a simple servlet based
framework (I wish turbine had existed then) and rewrote the site
using servlets over a weekend.

Currently we still have the same box in production, hosting more
than 10 substantial sites, and the system doesn't break a sweat.

Without a doubt, apache and jserv saved our asses that day.

The 4 cpu compaq box? Collecting dust, waiting till I get time to
install linux on it :)

Hats off to JServ and the dedicated people who wrote it.
