Peter, Would you happen to know of any good references that walks through how to trouble shoot Apache related performance issues? If I can zone in on the key issues I can obviously address them appropriately.

Obviously it will from a systems standpoint but is > it evident from an end user perspective? Depends entirely on your application and your system configuration. For most server applications, network bandwidth, disk latency and throughput and the amount of RAM available for caching are far more relevant than CPU grunt. Intel have done a superb job of branding the CPU as *the* key system component. It isn't - servers need to be balanced systems, and x86 vs x64 is only a small part of the overall balance. Bottom line: if you have an application that's too slow, a change in CPU architecture isn't going to save you :-). - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________________________________ This Email has been scanned for all viruses by PAETEC Email Scanning Services, utilizing MessageLabs proprietary SkyScan infrastructure.
