| Would be interested to know if anyone has made any load tests on their applications, and how they compare to mine. 
 I am Running Apache v2.2 serving Tomcat1 and Tomcat2 (v5.5.15) in a loadbalancing configuration with mod_jk
 
 Using Jmeter to simulate 50 users making various page accesses in my application.
 
 I compared the idential test on the Tomcat1 & Tomcat2 config and again on a single native Tomcat:8080 config.
 
 The Native Tomcat config is around 50-60% faster that the loadbalanced.
 
 It's a hell of a trade off !
 
 Regards,
 
 SMc

| If not using mod_jk maybe using reverse proxy? |  |
