So let me get this straight. You are reluctant to accept a configuration which gives you improved throughput ? :P
Anyway, this is not an unusual approach, from what I understand this simply makes full use of the resources available on that machine. Not uncommon in real world to see app servers like websphere being configured in that manner. I'd link you a redbook from IBM on this but it escapes my memory at this point in time. It might help you understand a bit more than I can explain here :D -----Original Message----- From: Nishi Kant Sent: 10/11/2008 14:26:21 To: users@tomcat.apache.org Subject: Tomcat Performance Hi All, I'm trying to optimize the performance of my server, which is deployed in a cluster environment using Apache Load balancer and Tomcat container. mod_jk is used to communicate between load balancer and tomcat container. Apache is configured to use worker MPM mode. I have done various tests to find optimized tomcat, apache and Linux configuration for my application. Following are the machines I'm using for this load test. Machines configurations ------------------------------------ Apache Load balancer:: 2.8 GHz Dual Core , 4GB RAM Tomcat :: 2.66 GHz 2 CUP, Dual Core, 6 GB RAM There is an interesting observation when I alter my configuration to run multiple tomcat instances on same machine. My throughput increases to 2 times the original throughput if I run 2 instance of tomcat instead of single tomcat instance. I'm trying to understand this behavior as I'm not very keen in running multiple tomcat instances on same machines.
