I have an apache/tomcat environment that is experiencing performance problems.
My production environment has apache on one win2k box, and the two tomcat instances on another win 2k box. When I load test the my application directly against either of the tomcat instances, I get about 150 req/s. When I test with apache in front, I get 10 req/s. This was with apache server temporarily placed on same network segment as tomcat box. I recreated the production setup on a couple of developer workstations (slightly slower hardware than the production environment), and got > 70 req/s. Apache and tomcat conf files are essentially identical in both environments. Does anyone have any clues?
