Slower is subjective. Unfortunately, I can't currently run the old server to 
actually measure times, but it's just slowwwww. I can see individual requests 
(images, CSS, etc) taking a long time to be fulfilled, whereas before, the 
pages would just come up fully rendered. Time to first render is longer, too.

I left the server running late last night, tried to make requests of it this 
morning, but I just got "server not responding" errors in the browser. Mind 
you, these were not timeouts, but actual connection refusals.

logs show nothing with this config:

    <log-handler name=""
            level="all"
            path="/var/logs/resin/out.log"
            rollover-period="1W"
            archive-format="out-%Y-%W.log.gz"
            timestamp="[%m-%d %H:%M:%S.%s] {%{thread}} "
            format=" ${log.level} (${log.name}) ${log.message}"/>
                
        <logger name="com.caucho.servlets"                  level="warning"/>
        <logger name=""                                     level="warning"/>

I'm not sure how to verify that the JVMs exist, other than the ps command 
outputs many lines for java (as described before). It's not that the server 
died, it just stopped listening.

So, that's an interesting and scary thought. However, I'm not using Resin 
Professional, so I thought I didn't get native sockes.

I used to have exactly those values specified in resin.xml, and thought perhaps 
that was part of the problem, so I commented them out (to let the JVM and resin 
pick defaults). I was still seeing those in the command, though, and didn't 
know where they were coming from. That was something I had not been specifying 
in my 3.0.23 installation, and so I thought they were causing more problems 
than they were solving.
