1) If you start Tomcat with jsvc it can init the connectors and bind to ports (e.g. port 80) and drop privileges after that. That is the primary reason why bindOnInit="true" option is there. 2) If you open a port earlier the OS starts accepting connections earlier. The connector will serve them after it actually starts. If the port is not open a connection attempt will be refused immediately.
