howto fast ssl

[Bernhard Wraase <bw...@netkosmos.de>]

We are serving jsp + servlets  always with ssl
It seems to me that without ssl its much faster.

So I ask myself...
What is faster:
tomcat standalone with ssl or
apache with mod_ssl + connector(i.e. mod_jk) + tomcat

Are there any experiences?
Is it worth the effort to install apache?

This would make tomcat do all the crypting, which is quite a job for Java.

While this configuration will make a pure C compiled code (apache) do the
SSL'ing and serving of static webpages, while tomcat "only" serves the
active servlets and jsp's.

I don't have much experience with the two configurations, this is just a
"educated guess"..
