Hi,

I've only recently returned to using tomcat since tomcat 4.0.1 and I note that things have moved on somewhat. I'm currently working with the Tomcat 5.5.xx line. I would like to know is :

What exactly is the advantage of using the tomcat-native library?

I work with some fairly large Linux cluster, that typically have more than 2 tomcat instances for physical server. These machines have a large number of request and use a significant amount of RAM as you'd expect.

The Web page states.
Advanced IO functionality, OS level functionality and Native process handling .

Which is all very good, but it doesn't tell me what I need to know in order the convince the people higher up the food chain, to at using it. From the testing I've done, performance difference is marginal at best and memory usage is virtually the same as without.

What real world impact will this have on applications that don't use OpenSSL, but do need lots of thread and lots of memory.

Regards,
Alec
