But this is all static load, correct? I mean, once Tomcat has started up and all of the applications have performed any initialization, there shouldn't be hardly any overhead, correct? They'll consume memory, of course. Certainly there's a level of load if all of the applications are not in production mode, but even then that should only matter if the applications are actually USED, correct? Not just loaded? (Specifically thinking about the run time checking of changed JSPs etc.) Finally, even if there is some overall continual performance overhead for having an application loaded, yet unused, how many apps would you have to have to where this overhead would actually be measurable, much less make any kind of difference whatsoever in response time to a single specific app?
