Apache Tomcat Performance

Frank Ziglar reports on the peformance of Tomcat, one of the most used Sevlet engines in the world (Some statistics can be found here), on Window and Linux platforms.

• Comparing Apache Tomcat Performance Across Platforms, Sys-Con LiNUX, By Frank Ziglar, Apr 28, 2006
  — They have measured performance information to distinguish the differences between the Windows and Linux platforms. Given comparable hardware we found the performance differences almost trivial.

The original (full version?) report, devided into two parts, is available at the website of Web performance, Inc.

• Part 1: Performance and Distinct Error Handling under Memory Load
• Part 2: Performance and Distinct Error Handling under Computational Load
