Hi there,

I am trying to find some documentation that specifies whether Apache
tomcat can take advantage of being run on a multi-core system but so
far I cant find anything. Does anyone have any info that might be
relevant or have any knowledge on the topic?

thanks very much all,

Gav

Tomcat uses multiple threads for request processing (see docs for HTTP
connector). If the JVM supports SMP (it does on Linux/x86), a multi core
system may provide a scaleup.
