Eitan,
I've done some amount of testing on the Tomcat webserver and the
Apache-Tomcat combination and have found the 8080 Tomcat webserver lacking
for real production strength deployment. It is excellent for development but
speed-wise, feature-wise Apache is a far stronger offering and fronting your
Tomcat engine with an Apache engine will yield good results.
