Considering your setup, it should not be too hard to set up a download of the same file file directly from Tomcat (through its HTTP Connector), to compare that with your two previous ways. This way, you could make sure if it is Tomcat, or the mod_jk/AJP link which is the issue.

Also, still considering your setup, it should be possible to configure things so that these file downloads are handled directly by Apache httpd, since that seems to satisfy your expectations. mod_jk "JkMount/JkUnMount" rules (*) should make that possible, no ? Have to be a bit careful not to introduce security holes, and I am assuming that the files are static (which may be wrong here).

(*) or the <Location ..> + "setHandler jakarta-servlet" configuration variation

Thanks for the http connector idea. I forgot about that. The primary reason why i'm using tomcat to download a static file is really for testing purposes to confirm performance between mod_jk and direct apache. we have servlets that stream content files that see the same massive performance hit so in our actual use case it's not static files :(. I'm thinking this would be a valid test to help at least tweak mod_jk to it's potential.

We've checked and double checked the buffering code of the servlets and it all looks fine AND the performance is fine on Linux and the speed characteristics are identical to serving static files through tomcat + mod_jk so I'm hoping that it's an apples to apples comparison.

Through the HTTP connector the performance is similar to apache direct. 30mb/s

So there's something interesting going on specifically ajp.
