Well, you're asking this on the tomcat-user list, so you'll primarily find
Tomcat users here... ;-)

Actually, I use Resin most of the time, including in production. It *is*
very fast, but I don't honestly know how it compares to Tomcat 4.1.10. It
used to beat the pants off earlier versions of Tomcat, though. Resin is also
a breeze to install and configure, but again, I believe Tomcat has made
progress in that direction with 4.1.10.

One nice thing about the latest version of Resin (2.1.4) is that it has a
built-in fast implementation of JSTL. That can be disabled if you want to
use the RI, but so far I've never had to.

Some people use Resin for its features over and above the usual Servlet /
JSP stuff. For example, it has its own alternative syntaxes, XML template
system, and the ability to use JavaScript as the scripting language in JSP
pages, instead of Java. Of course, then you're tied to Resin.

You might want to ask this question on the resin-interest list to see what
kind of responses you get from the Resin side of the house.
