title: tomcat7 vs. tomcat6, Is there any significant difference in their performance?
body: <p>I have been working on stress testing a Java web application (JSP+Tomcat6+Struts2+Hibernate+mysql) and well the results I was getting wasn't something to brag about! So I upgraded the tomcat version to 7, and wow! the requests/sec I got was 5 times better than before.</p>
  
  <p>So enlighten me, is there this much difference between tomcat6 and tomcat7's performance? or there is something wrong with my configuration and stuff?</p>
