i use Jetty for OpenBD.
If i am load balancing between different backends, then it is either
nginx (if i need SSL) and haproxy for seriously high volume (10k+
per/second).
In todays servers ... Jetty/Tomcat will perform no noticeable
difference. If you are REALLY that concerned about CSS/JS delivery
then put them on Amazon CloudFront and be done with it.
Life is too short to be complicating the setup with lots of unnecessary
hoops for a "perceived" performance gain that most sites don't warrant.

Alan,
You wrote: " Seems a bit complicated ... why have you put Apache infront
of OpenBD?
What are you hoping to do with Apache that you think Tomcat can't do for
you?"
I take it from this comment that you use tomcat to host everything and do
not put a front end web server in front of tomcat?
I have always heard that apache, nginx did a better job at hosting images,
css , js etc than tomcat.
I am interested in your input on this.
