Other (non-exhaustive) notes:

...

• Stress test your webapp. You can do this via \[http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/ JMeter\], \[http://www.joedog.org/siege/ siege\], \[http://httpd.apache.org/test/flood/ flood\], and other tools. Google is your friend.
• Tweak your UNIX box! Look at ulimit and kernel parameters.
• Bad design will hurt performance.
• Wiki MarkupLook at \[http://java.quest.com/jprobe/jprobe.shtml JProbe\], or \[http://www.borland.com/optimizeit/ OptimizeIt\], or other profiling tools. Lots of people recommend these tools. This is not an endorsement for them, I just notice other people like them. \\

Answers

Wiki MarkupYes depending on how you tune it. And NO depending on how you tune it. Anything less starts a religious war. We recommend performing your own benchmarks and \[http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=tomcat-user&m=106036177509367&w=2 see for yourself\]..
