In-reply-to: To: Tomcat Users List Message-id: <46767433.1000004@verizon.net> MIME-version: 1.0 Content-type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1; format=flowed Content-transfer-encoding: 7bit References: User-Agent: Thunderbird 2.0.0.4 (Windows/20070604) X-Virus-Checked: Checked by ClamAV on apache.org I have no hard stats to back me up, but I doubt you'll see a significant difference in performance as long as the hardware spec is the same. Our Tomcat app on Windows 2000 runs for months between restarts, and even then the restarts are for OS or application updates, not for Tomcat problems. Once I got the memory leaks out of my app, I've had no issues with memory usage. A client of ours that runs the app on windows 2003 has had the same experience.
