Well, what I mean is that Tomcat can serve dynamic content faster if it
runs standalone so that the requests are directly handled and the pages
are directly served by Tomcat.
Also, the gap between Tomcat and Apache is closing as regards the
performance in serving static content.
Here are a few pros and cons for the Apache-Tomcat combination:

My personal point of view is that I would always try to avoid to run a
Tomcat behind an Apache, as this can sometimes significantly impair the
performance when serving dynamic content from Tomcat.
Best wishes
Lutz
