Does the 'Oracle forms 11g application' in standalone mode work faster than in combination with nginx?

In short lets say if the application can handle 1 request per second then balancing 2 backends won't magically make more requests 
per second possible than two. If you can't speed the application nginx can't solve it for you other ways than introducing more 
backends to loadbalance or caching the responses (proxy/fastcgi cache) to avoid hitting the backend at all.

Of course if each app can handle 1000 requests and with the balancing suddenly it drops down to 100 there is some bottleneck. But 
for starters at least your nginx config would be needed.
