It will also improve the performance of static content responses.

If I have my facts straight, it also uses a slightly different request
dispatching scheme that should be a bit more scalable than the standard
blocking IO connector.

Haven't seen any significant differences there, whereas the SSL time is 
noticeable.

 If I have my facts straight, it also uses a slightly different request
 dispatching scheme that should be a bit more scalable than the standard
 blocking IO connector.

If one is concerned with scaling, one should be using the NIO connector, not 
the blocking one.

RE: Apache Tomcat Native library question

 From: Tom Jones [mailto:tjo...@acworld.com]
 Subject: Apache Tomcat Native library question
 
 I have found some articles on how to compile the 
 native library 

Read the doc first:
http://tomcat.apache.org/tomcat-6.0-doc/apr.html

And of course take a look at the APR and OpenSSL pages:
http://apr.apache.org/
http://www.openssl.org/

 I'm still a little fuzzy on is it necessary?

No - which is why the message is INFO.  Using it will improve performance for 
HTTPS traffic.

 I was also hoping to find out if it can be compiled as
 a binary that can be distributed so that I dont have to
 put the Developer tools on my production servers?

No technical issues, but you'll have to read the licenses and decide for 
yourself if it's legal in your situation.  (It normally is.)
