Howdy, Servlet and JSP pages are dynamic resources: java code is executed every time the user requests them. HTML pages, CSS pages, images, .js files are static resources: no code is run to produce them. They are created once and placed on the server, to be served the same to all requests.
I would be very careful with a claim like Ms. Smoak's, "Apache is... much faster serving static resources" as that's highly qualitative. Please provide benchmarks or tests that prove your point, because I don't think it's much faster at serving static resources.
