Oh, I wouldn't start blaming MS for problems in netscape without doing a tru
lab test on the issue. I've been programming since the early 1980s, and I've
heard some strange conspiracy theories, and the ones about Netscape running
on Windows goes into the X-files unless one can truly and independently test
the veracity. Just use the best mix of software for your environment, and
make sure to thoroughly account for the environment in your servlets.

There might be a fastest combination but you will probably never find it;-)
In
my experience, you should never try to find the best combination in
isolation of
yuor application requirement in the first place.
IIS + JRun might be a good combination if you are hosting the web from a NT
as
you then get the benefit of using ASP, if the ASP benefit your application.
If
you are hosting your web on a unix platform, IIS would never run!

If you're doing a large, expensive site, then there's
no way to get around doing your own performance testing
with various combinations of hardware and software. There
are too many variables to say in advance "this combination
is fastest", it depends too much on your particular app.
I understand that this is a very disappointing answer, and
it is fairly expensive to do that sort of testing, but
there's really no good way around it.
In any case, chances are that the particular brand of
servlet engine and web server are going to have much less
impact than something like the speed of the database, or
the amount of memory in the server, or how well written
your servlets are, or which jvm you are using. But maybe
not...
One thing for sure: the "raw" server speed tests are
completely useless for predicting real-world performance
of complex web applications.
Just out of curiosity, was it Alliare or Microsoft that
told you the JRun/IIS combo was "best"? :-)
