Tomcat on Windows Server 2003 x64

["Seth P. Low" <lo...@modog.com>]

Hello List,
         I have quickly searched the archives and I have reviewed some
threads about folks compiling Tomcat for 64 bit Windows systems. Here is
my question - If I am running a 64 bit Windows OS and a 64 bit version
of Java and I download the Tomcat core zip files and start Tomcat using
the .bat (read - not as a service) am I missing out on some potential
performance gain? It is my understanding that the fact that we have
installed the 64 bit JRE should be sufficient. However, some of the list
threads discuss compiling Tomcat as x64 from source and I am wondering
if this is something that I should be considering to maximize
performance. What would this get me? Maybe I am missing something.....
Thanks as always, -Seth

No.

Your understanding is correct.

Total waste of time.  Think about the basic premise of Java...

The only part that requires compiling is the separately packaged
optional native code in APR.  If you're a really high-volume site, you
may see some reduction in CPU utilization per request if APR is
installed.
