It sounds like you tested Tomcat on an HP, and Tomcat on an x86 with
Solaris 8, vs. iPlanet on an Ultra running Solaris 2.6. You are then guessing
that the difference in performance is entirely due to the servlet engine?
Have you tried testing Tomcat vs. iPlanet on *identical* hardware/OS
platforms?
