Tomcat 4.1.29v5.0.18 performance

[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.
