Simone, Thank you for your comments and the link.
Regarding: 5) Use 64-bit JRE so no JAI (anyone have experience on performance differences?) "The difference will not be dramatic. In most cases it will be 5% to 10%." Is that a 5-10% reduction in performance? Is it still worth using the 64-bit version of Tomcat/Geoserver, as opposed to the 32-bit version with the JAI extensions?

You only need to stop tomcat remove the old war and drop the new one. Make sure to: -1- use an external data directory -2- back up the current data dir prior to an upgrade -3- put data outside the data directory (backups are easier to perform). > > > > I'd appreciate it if anyone else has any further thoughts on these points.
