Setting it to true makes the Web server connectors skip the trip to JRun
for serving content that doesn't have a mapping in your JRun server or
web-app.  So typically HTML, gif, jpeg, cgi, etc. you want to not have
JRun serve.  Setting that to "true" lets the connectors serve it
straight up through the native Web server.  You'll get much better
performance if you set this to true for your web apps and let the native
Web server handle all your static content.

If set to "false," you have to put your static content under wherever
your web-app is deployed (unless you configure virtual directories --
another ball of wax), and let JRun's FileServlet serve it out of there.
This is slower.
