Our largest use of Tomcat is with our webmail cluster. You can find some stats for that at: http://webstats.ufl.edu/webmail.ufl.edu/ (Note: that the monthly reports are behind because of problems with analog on AIX.)
Yesterday during peak usage we were handling 55 request per second: http://webstats.ufl.edu/webmail.ufl.edu/daily-2004-08-30.html#hoursum
Our setup is 3 machines running Apache HTTPD with mod_jk load balancing to 4 machines running Tomcat 5. While all of those machines are beefy quad CPU boxes with between 2 to 8 gig of ram none of them are single purpose machines.
Our Apache HTTPD machines serve over a hundred virtual hosts, so there are a lot of other factors which makes it hard for me to assert any performance numbers of our tomcat setup. I can say our last problems with our webmail setup stemmed from running out of simultaneous connections in apache httpd when all the students returned this past fall. The 4 boxes running tomcat is overpowered to handle any surge in usage and I haven't seen their CPU load cross 33%.
