This is a common topic I suppose ... whether to use Tomcat as standalone or not. I have seen the argument that Apache is a lot faster for static content pop up a few times ... but I don't really understand why that is.
Why is Apache so much faster with static content? Does is have a better (presuming Tomcat has one at all) caching mechanism for alleviating disk reads of common files? That's the only reason I can think of that Apache would be faster. I'm sure there are reasons that I'm not thinking of, however. Could someone fill in the gap for me? Why is Apache so much faster?
