It says: "Apache is faster at serving static content than Tomcat. But unless you have a high traffic site, this point is useless. But in some scenarios, tomcat can be faster than Apache httpd. So benchmark YOUR site." If you read the rest of it, it also says (in bold): "Tomcat can perform at httpd speeds when using the proper connector (APR with sendFile enabled). Speed should not be considered a factor when choosing between Apache httpd and Tomcat " p > Jeff Hubbs-2 wrote: >> >> On 10/14/10 12:08 PM, Caldarale, Charles R wrote: >>> >>>> I'm trying to make sure Tomcat is not serving static >>>> files that Apache can serve more efficiently. >>> Why do you think httpd can serve them more efficiently? >> I recall from reading about Slashdot's architecture some years ago >> (Perl/MySQL at the time) that they had separate servers running Tux for >> static content... >> >> --------------------------------------------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org >> For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org >> >> >> >
