Hi David, I recently ran performance tests against version 7 and during that whole process discovered at best for a single instance of Tomcat 7 running on a 6 core AMD 2.8Ghz processor the best I could get running the client on the server and using loopback network (Localhost) was around 32K per second hitting a servlet that had no code. I was using APR also. By adding the network domain name where it forced the requests to go through my gaming router I could only get 2.2K requests per second. If I ran the client from a laptop on the lan I got around the same number.
I have not looked into adding another instance of Tomcat but I suspect as you add latency and some form of code in a servlet it might get down to 100 requests per second. Remember if a single request takes 10msec at Tomcat and depending upon the amount of data and latency (say 100msec) you are already down to 100 req per second at best. You might only get that at best.

Specifically, my application has lots of small, simple requests, and the app does nothing but de-obfuscate (it's not really sophisticated enough to call it encryption) the data and save it to disk. But it does a LOT of them, 60 to 100 per second during normal operation, more during very busy times. The overall average when I checked last week was about 60 requests per second for the previous 10 days, around the clock, >4.5M per day. I spent quite a bit of effort in optimizing my app last year, and got some big gains in it, but now I'm again starting to not be able to keep up with the increased flow as our customer has doubled their number of installations, so I'm looking elsewhere for potential improvements. I've already checked my connection bandwidth, and that still has some headroom, though not a lot. Can I expect TC 6 or 7 to handle larger numbers of very simple requests than 5.5 can?
