Hello, i'm currently testing the application and agree with you. Nevertheless i would be happy if i had some guidelines for configuring Tomcat in a production environment (e.g. impact on setting the different parameters, which settings work best for which type of application, a.s.o).

One common misconception that people seem to have about Tomcat (and application servers in general) is that you can predict how well an application will perform on that server without any real details of the application, but exact hardware details. For almost all applications that Tomcat is going to serve, the majority of CPU time will be spent in your application. The majority of network traffic will be specific to your application. The majority of memory might be your application (Tomcat might actually tie with you here). The point being, of all the possible factors that can limit the transactions per second or whatever other performance metric you want to consider, your application is the biggest blocker, not Tomcat, not the OS. My best advice is for you to try it out. Set up a load test and see. One potential bottleneck you didn't mention, by the way, is your bandwidth between you and your users - this can also limit the number of transactions (which is a rather vague term when discussing app servers) you will receive.
