Latest features -> Tomcat 7 Best performance -> Latest JDK There are a few performance tweaks in Tomcat 7 but nothing as significant as you'll get from using Java 6 rather than Java 5 (as you already are). > as a totally new user to tomcat, i'm running ubuntu 10.10 and i just > downloaded the tomcat 7.0.11 tarball and dumped it into a personal > directory. seems to start and run fine, although i have no existing > webapps that force me to worry about backward compatibility. The specifications are backwards compatible. If a specification compliant application runs on Tomcat 3 it should run on Tomcat 7. If it doesn't, that would be a bug. The catch is "specification compliant". Tomcat has become stricter in enforcing the requirements of the specification (usually because of edge case bugs if it doesn't) which does mean that an application that runs on an older Tomcat version may require some fixes and/or Tomcat configuration to disable checks on the latest release.
