Tomcat 4.1.29v5.0.18 performance

2004-02-19 Thread Pete Stokes
I've just got my app load balanced between Apache 1.3  2xTomcat 4.1.29, 
JK, SunJDK1.4.2, all seperate boxes. I have set heap site (JVM settings) 
same as my Tomcat 5.0.18, and guessed minProcessors=100 and 
maxProcessors=300 for server.xml's - config different to 5.0.18.

It's appears about 3x as slow as a single 5.0.18.

I have three questions re this:

1) Has any1 experienced this and found a solution?
2) If I can't get T4.1.29 up2speed, and want to loadbalance with T5.0.18 
/ Apache 2, do people actually use this in production without any major 
issues?
3) If I go point 2, then the only way I've found to provide loadbalancer 
redundancy for those versions is LinuxVirtualServer. Is that correct?

Any comments would be appreciated.

Pete.

If you're comparing with 5.0.18 with the HTTP connector, I'd like to 
point out that the HTTP connector has a higher max throughtput than 
using AJP with a native webserver (esp if TC and the native webserver 
are running on the same server).
If you want to compare the two releases, you should probably be using 
the same configurations ;)

Remy,

With just 1 user, it appears 3x as slow. I understand the max throughput 
will be better, but did not expect this performance degredation with 
just 1 user, I'd assumed slight degredation overall and a lower max users.

Don't suppose you could answer my questions 2  3 ?

Thanks,
Pete.

Ok, but did you test TC 5 with the same configuration using JK ? You 
could be running in a performance bug when using that connector, related 
to whatever you are doing in your application.

Don't suppose you could answer my questions 2  3 ?
2: I don't know ;) the JBoss websites aren't using it yet (since they're 
using JBoss 3.2.3)
3: Same.
