server:  Windows 2000sp2, Apache 1.3.26 with mod_jk/1.1.0 and Tomcat 
3.2.4 (reproducible with all other Apache and Tomcat versions I've tried)
file:  dd if=/dev/urandom of=8mbfile bs=1 count=8000000

where httpd.conf has

<IfModule mod__jk.c>
    JkWorkersFiles "C:/tomcat/conf/workers.properties"
    JkMount /webapp/* ajp13
</IfModule>


client:  SunOS 5.8 Generic_108528-15 sun4u sparc SUNW,Sun-Blade-1000
test1: wget http://w2k/8mbfile == 80KB/s
test2: wget http://w2k/webapp/8mbfile == 1MB/s

client:  Linux 2.4.18-3smp
test1: wget http://w2k/8mbfile == 8MB/s
test2: wget http://w2k/webapp/8mbfile == 1MB/s
