AFAIK Tomcat is used for delivering dynamic content (Java based server-side applications) and not static content hence it is definitely not optimised for delivering static content. If you want a web server performant at delivering static content you should rather take a look at Boa (http://www.boa.org/), rather than Tomcat...

Thanks a lot Alex, I never use before Tomcat or Boa but definitely I will try to see, and I will let you know my impression. Anyway, I will do this when I will have time.

You're welcome Ovi
I'l be really interested in your impression about Boa, it's one of my favourite web servers along with tiny (which unfortunately only has a Windows version) and of course Apache.
