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? - Chuck THIS COMMUNICATION MAY CONTAIN CONFIDENTIAL AND/OR OTHERWISE PROPRIETARY MATERIAL and is thus for use only by the intended recipient.
