Joshua, Thanks. I think what you mention makes sense - but i still wanted to make sure i was not missing anything major before going down the 2.0.* path. My initial plan was to look at the 2.2.* release but based on some initial configuration that i tried, the WLS plugin which is part of WLS 9.2 is not compatible with the 2.2.* release.

The performance of the two would probably be very similar under those conditions, although the specifics of the setup can always make a difference. The real question you should be asking yourself is if you really want to start a project with a server that hasn't had any serious development work in over 5 years. If so, I hope you don't need IPv6, caching, threading, sendfile, filtering, largefile support, accept filters, or any of the thousands of other improvements that have gone into the 2.x series.
