If you can separate your application server from the server that servers static content then you'll get a boost even if they are on the same machine.I have very little static content. Even images are generated. My site generates images of math formulae such as (x-1)/(x+1) on the fly.,
I can understand generating them on the fly for flexibility reasons, but I'd cache them, and serve them statically after that, rather than regenerate the images on every single request. You can accomplish that in the app itself, or just by throwing a caching proxy in front of it (maybe you're already doing this with perlbal)
