Tomcat vs IIS download speed - configuration suggestions?
Hi everyone,
I'm running some comparison tests with tomcat 6.0.35 and IIS running in
parallel on Windows Server 2008 R2. Now I would expect Tomcat to be
somewhat slower, given the extra JVM layer, but in some situations, i'm
seeing differences that are tough to swallow.
Downloads
IIS ~3.7 MB/s
Tomcat ~350 KB/s
Test Details:
I placed a ~500MB file in the document root of the web app on tomcat and
set up an HTTPS connector. Then I set up IIS with the same file and an
HTTPS listener. I configured the cipher suite in tomcat to be the same one
that was negotiated between IIS and my Chrome browser. Finally, I set the
JVM max memory to 1024MB with a min of 900MB to reduce the impact of the GC
and the memory allocation.
I'm using HTTP/1.1 connectors with pretty standard configuration:
<Server port="9005" shutdown="SHUTDOWN">
<Service name="admin">
<Connector port="9080" />
<Connector port="9443" protocol="HTTP/1.1"
SSLEnabled="true" enableLookups="false" disableUploadTimeout="true"
scheme="https" secure="true" clientAuth="false" sslProtocol="TLS"
algorithm="SunX509" keystoreFile="C:\temp\sample_keystore.jks"
keystorePass="password" keyAlias="sample-key" keystoreType="JKS"
truststoreFile="C:\temp\sample_truststore.jks" truststorePass="password"
truststoreType="JKS" />
<Engine name="admin" defaultHost="localhost">
<Host name="localhost" appBase="webapps"
errorReportValveClass="com.company.CustomErrorReportValve">
<Context path="/sample" docBase="C:\temp\application\WebRoot"
reloadable="false">
<Loader delegate="true" />
</Context>
</Host>
</Engine>
</Service>
</Server>
So, I extend the question of, why would tomcat only be able to reach 10% of
the speed IIS is able to server when running parallel tests? Any
suggestions on configurations that I could adjust on Tomcat, the JVM, or
operating system that improve that download speed?
Thanks in advance!

Interesting response. My environment is almost the same as Linoma, but
right now, my JSF web application is running on Windows Server 2003 32bit
4GB RAM and TomEE 1.5.2 SNAPSHOT (Tomcat 7.0.34). I am quite/very
satisfied/pleased with the performance of the app (have no complaints at
all), but I do like having the best performance possible, so David's
response caused me to do some research (via google and stackoverflow.com)
on this 'server JVM' topic.
No changes made (yet), but this 'server JVM' is good to know. Thanks!

This is pretty old, you might also try the latest 1.6.0_x release and/or the latest 17.0_x release. Those could have some performance improvements which would narrow the gap.

Thank you everyone for the responses/suggestions.
I did ensure that those were the same during the tests, but had removed
that from the server.xml before sending. Both servers had negotiated the
equivalent of TLS_RSA_WITH_AES_128_CBC_SHA with the client during testing.
Also, i've verified the JVM is in server mode, and I'm currently using
1.6.0_14.
At times i can hit increased speeds of 10.8MB/s for IIS (about as fast as
this server's network card can handle), with tomcat running close to 7.8
MB/s. (I'm just thinking out loud here) Assuming this is a normal
difference with tomcat running at 72% the speed of IIS, and if the system
was congested to the point of slowing down the downloads from the servers,
then I would expect tomcat to run at 2.5 MB/s if IIS was serving files at
3.5 MB/s. It however looks like tomcat is serving data at a consistent 3.0
MB/s slower than IIS (not percentage based), which is why i saw 350 KB/s
against the 3.5 MB/s from IIS?
Anyway, I will try the APR connector and let you know. Thanks again for
your comments!

What JVM are you running under? Is it running the client or server
version? I've found huge performance improvements in some kind of
operations under a server JVM compared to client ones.

Really?
I do not see any cipher configuration in your configuration below.

Clearly not from the configuration information below. Switching to the
APR/native connector is the obvious first step to try.
After that, check that the same / comparable encryption algorithms are
being used.
