I can't help but suspect that Apache httpd will outperform Tomcat even
when it's running APR for static content, merely due to the overhead of

Can anyone give a non-flame comment or point to an actual performance
comparison with decent data?
Serving static content is an I/O-limited task. So whether the server
code takes 450ns or 500ns to do the processing required is not
significant. Provided the interface with the kernel is optimal, any
server will perform roughly the same because it's the kernel doing all
the work.
I think you also need to factor in the labor cost to manage two
different servers. I know that in our production deployments we could
buy many many machines for the cost of the time we've spent trying to
make AJP work. Tomcat could be 10x slower than Apache and I'd still use
it to avoid the hassle.
