Fastest Open Source Java Application Server

Question

Which Open Source Java Application Server is the fastest?

Glassfish
Jetty
JBoss

Others?

Is Jetty really comparable to Glassfish and JBoss? Isn't it more at the feature level of Tomcat? — Evan, Jul 17 '09 at 01:52

I heard that Glassfish is the fastest server if you scale up to a big environment. This does it by grizzly.

Here are some performance stats.

We are using grizzly (without whole glassfish) for our custom file-sharing solution. We have 4gb/s bandwidth loaded per server with single Xeon 3570. – DukeLion May 22 '12 at 11:33

it's discussable how much open source it is - but also take a look at resin.

I have heard good things about Resin as well. It has been a while since I've used JBoss, but at the time (>5 years) it was excellent. Hopefully support is better now since it's more mature and Red Hat supported.
