Other (non-exhaustive) notes:
- Stress test your webapp. You can do this via JMeter, siege, flood, and other tools. Google is your friend.
- Tweak your UNIX box! Look at ulimit and kernel parameters.
- Bad design will hurt performance.
- Look at JProbe, or OptimizeIt, or New Relic, or other profiling tools. Lots of people recommend these tools . This is not an endorsement for them, I just notice other people like themfor Java.

- Is there a comprehensive, up-to-date, detailed benchmark comparing various servlet containers, including Tomcat?
- How do I configure apache tomcat connectors for a heavy load site?
- How do I make Tomcat start up faster?
