Yes, Exception is a special object which is costly to create and costly to trap.
i hope, that catching Exception is optimized by the Java, because it happens quite often in java-programs.
creating on exception object, throwing it etc. should happen quite seldom.
When Apache will be closing connections at a high rate, you make Tomcat spend precious cycle to catch exceptions, and so you'll slow tomcat also.
i respect that within my patch.
I'll study your patch at this time.
BTW, you should also consider that Windows TCP implementation differs a little from the one in Unix (see the catch code)....
I will do tests on both platforms.
Where should i send my patch? I think i'll have something ready within the next two weeks.
