If you actually read this page, then you will see that they tested against TC 3.1. I don't even think that this was the most current release in 2001. TC 4.1 and even 3.3 run circles around 3.1 in terms of performance. This data is hopelessly out of date (and like John implied, probably was when it was first published). I don't seem to have it here, but at one point I had a link showing that Tomcat was very competitive with commercial servers. I'll look to see if I can find it tomorrow. Of course, as someone else pointed out, the only benchmark that counts is yours ;-). > > > If anyone knows of some more up to date information regarding this issue > please let me know.
