Well, the performance tests we did (Tomcat 5.0.x/Coyote vs Apache 2.0.x/AJP13/Tomcat 5.0.x) surely didn't account for it being a "fallacy". I don't know whether this has changed in 5.5.x/6.x, but Coyote doesn't know about mod_expires and keepalive, for one. And that makes a huge difference. -- Francis Galiegue, [EMAIL PROTECTED] "When it comes to performance, weight is everything" - Tiff Needell --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
