Hi All, I am looking at Tomcat for production and seeing some things that make me question its use for production. I believe what Jakarta group is doing is a great thing for all of us looking for cheaper alternatives but there is may be a serious issue to using Tomcat. I have seen and now read concern about Tomcat's performance. I found an interesting tidbit in a newsgroup about Tomcat performance and a reference to some benchmarks. The benchmarks were done in 2001 and are out of date but even today I still hear of concerns regarding Tomcat performance and even my peers are saying it is a "reference implementation only". The links are as follows:

I would really appreciate the feedback!
