Keep your Tomcat up to date!

It is definitely worth it...a 2x to 3x performance improvement between version 5.5.9 and 5.5.12...now, I would never expect that but sure enough that is the kind of performance enhancements I got when updating to this newer version....pretty impressive...Well, if you take into account that performance of 5.5.9 for my specific example was lower than a 4.0.4 version, I would say Tomcat got their act together with this new update...Bottom line: consider keeping up to date with the usual precautions!

And by the way....NetBeans 5.0 Beta 2 is out! Supposed to contain over 1,800 bug fixes from Beta 1...Since I am still pretty happy with NetBeans 5.0 I already got my NetBeans update.
