today I took the day off, but tomorrow I plan on running more benchmarks. I ran into one weird behavior when I ran the same jmeter test with 10 threads for 5K iterations. Half way through tomcat stopped accepting connections, but was fine. If I wait two minutes, it continue to accept requests.
That tells me tomcat is dramatically improved in stability. In the early days of servlet containers, I used to run stress tests until the servers crashed. Back in 99 most of the servlet containers including websphere, jrun and tomcat would crash a couple minutes after it stopped accepting connections. Now tomcat correctly denies connections and performance degrades gracefully.
These days, I'm exclusively (well, almost) working on reliability and performance.
Performance is ok now (only remaining are a couple enhancements in 5.0), and is a lot easier to improve than reliability. If you have ideas for that, let me know.
