Apart from java, everything else is more sturdy.

Allegedly, the BSD network code is more stable/faster than linux's even though
linux is slowly getting there.

The emulation speed is comparable to native speed. The only bloat is having
two set of shared libraries.... but I guess that, if you've gone the java
route, you don't really care about bloat. :)

About the speed: I mean it. There is absolutely NO decrease in speed due
to emulation.

And there might be a native Apache, might there not be ? And other
applications you'll be happy you have...
