Hello Pawel, No, I don't have any benchmarks about the speed of mod_ssl vs tomcat ssl. I prefer apache with mod_ssl because I'm familiar with the configuration of open_ssl, I have the perception of being more secure to separate the application web server from the front webserver, and because mod_jk has clustering capabilities, and that permits me to add and remove tomcat instances to manage capacity using a single apache httpd server (and a single IP). Beyond that, you need to take into account that you can operate tomcat in "pure java mode" using the java ssl (configured in the java way), or in "native mode" using tomcat native, using openssl (and is configured in the openssl way), and the performance difference is significative. Those are my reasons for my preference. Regards,
