Ok guys, that's my experience. We had bad results with tomcat, our group of linux boxes (4 biprocessor pentium class machines RH 7.1) had big problems only with 60.000 pages on a day.
What I appreciate less was the Tomcat ungraceful behaviour under stress. One moment all is Ok, after some seconds it starts trashing.
We changed the code, installed Resin and achieve to serve 500.000 pages on a day with only 2 servers!!!
Tomcat version was 3.2.something...
Good luck!
