Thanks to everyone who responded to my questions. I appreciate your time. I was really trying to get a sense of what different levers we have in Tomcat to tweak performance as I am going through a performance/stress test process (which is what I am going through now). The comments about ensuring that the way the application works and its design is scalable and efficient are well taken.

Prioritize Use-Cases based on R/W, Frequency Try to optimize the the most frequent Use-Cases Test/Profile you app; often this leads to the following, Optimize database queries since I often find this to be the bottleneck. - Cache objects if you can in memory to avoid DB Queries - Add proper indexes to queries - Do more work within the database if you can - Batch TXNs Use less Java objects,right collection types, algorithms. I wonder how much of a performance boost tweaking Tomcat will achieve. I rather not spend time trying to boost Tomcat, unless I absolutely have to. -----Original Message----- From: Peter Lin [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, March 04, 2003 9:28 AM To: Tomcat Users List Subject: Re: Tomcat Scalability one more note. Persistence is the only effective tool for high performance! No amount of money or talent can beat persistence when it comes to making sure your website works reliably and responds within a set time. peter --- Tim Funk <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Scability/Perfomance/Memory was talked about many > times in the past.
