Keep in mind though that those tests mentioned by spender are pretty old, for example they are using Jetty 4.2.20 (latest version is 8.0.0.M0), so a lot has probably changed since then. I can't seem to find any reliable current tests on google but I do remember reading articles that basically said that nowadays the performance gap has narrowed.

Although they are not detailed performance test these articles have some relevant information:
