Retraction!  I should have said, "Apache is faster at serving static
resources than the Tomcat/connector/Apache combination."  I've never
tested Tomcat alone vs. Apache alone-- Apache was in place here before I
started writing webapps.

What I have done is looked at having Apache serve images directly rather
than placing them underneath each webapp.  I use a lot of the same
images across webapps, and I prefer to let Tomcat handle the dynamic
content while putting images, css files, and javascript files [what I
referred to as static resources] under Apache's root.  It's the same
mindset as using plain-old-HTML tags in a Struts webapp.  If there's no
dynamic content, why bother to involve a taglib?
