Also a Tomcat 5.5.12 (or better 5.5.15) with and without APR test against recent IBM, Sun, and BEA offerings would be really nice :-)
We did a previous test with tomcat against those servers, and are waiting for APR to be officially released on all platforms before proceeding.
There seems to be a silly notion out there that because you pay for commercial offerings they'll automatically make any web application run significantly faster and scale significantly better than just running it in Tomcat with the same resources. I'm not saying that paying for a commercial offering gets you nothing, but:
At the enterprise level businesses pay for support, and at the highest levels of support the license the source for a product is under makes little difference to the end customer, which is why its a good business model for the likes of IBM.
(Note that our own products are not open source. They would be open source if we could find a way to make a living that way.)
