We also found that running a combined container is far superior in performance to separating jboss and tomcat. On TC 3.2.3 you are probably better off putting Apache in front of it and letting it serve the static content (.gif, .js, etc). We noticed a big increase in performance with Apache (we use mod_jk) serving these files over TC. We have mostly dynamic content and were surprised by the increase. Also, you can put jboss/tomcat on multiple servers and have apache load balance between them. We've been doing this for over a year on one server (Apache/Tomcat) and about 4 months on another (2 load balanced apache servers against 2 load balanced tomcat/jboss servers) with great success.

It is my understanding that calls to remote interfaces, when run in the same
VM, used an optimized, emulated local path...
So, you can design against remote interfaces but still get lots of speed...
Otherwise everything would be done using RMI... Slow....
One of my apps uses local interfaces now, which is working well for us. If
we need more, the JBoss3 clustering will pick up the slack.
