The scalability is improved due to not having to keep a thread around
for each persistent HTTP connection.  (The new NIO connector in Tomcat 6
also achieves this.)  Whether or not that aspect improves your
performance due to less context switching, CPU cache loading/unloading,
etc., will depend almost entirely on your workload.

Do you have a simulated production environment where you can just try
the two connectors back-to-back?
