Thanks peter,
Don't suppose anyone can point me to any documentation that talks about getting
caching working properly for tomcat and static content can they?
A good caching tutorial is http://www.mnot.net/cache_docs/
The best site for web performance in general is
http://developer.yahoo.com/performance/rules.html
Tools for checking these rules are YSlow
(http://developer.yahoo.com/yslow/) and http://www.webpagetest.org/
The most important rules are
* Reduce number of requests (by consolidating scripts, style sheets
and images),
* Reduce data volume (e. g., by compression),
* Allow re-use by caching,
* Keep persistent connections,
* Avoid sending cookies for static objects.
If you have to serve users in a different continent than where your
servers are, you should also think about using a CDN.
Persistent connections are especially important with SSL, because SSL
connection setup is expensive.

Oliver Schoett
