In general, it will also reduce performance during development (where you're often recompiling a given class or modifying a given JSP page). The only way to tell if it helps *your* application is to try it with and without the option. There is no "right" or "wrong" setting -- the correct setting for you is whatever improves performance for *your* application. > Jake Craig (who, among other things, doesn't bother to put much stock in *any* becnchmarks other than running your own application on your own production server with your own production database) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user-unsubscribe@;jakarta.apache.org> For additional commands, e-mail: <mailto:tomcat-user-help@;jakarta.apache.org>
