Tomcat benchmarks

Two part (part 1, part 2) comparison of Tomcat running on Windows and Linux, (via TSS).

The lowdown:

under normal loads the performance was similar, with Linux very slightly ahead.
Linux was able to handle greater concurrent throughput at very high loads.
Linux dealt with high load by slowing down, but still accepting inbound connections. Windows dealt with high load by refusing new connections.
VM memory usage tweaking can make a big difference to the application's performance at higher loads.
