Is GFV2 slower for serving static content?

If a web application has a lot of static content (~60% & some media files),
would you recommend using a http server (apache) along with glassfish
(serving the dynamic content) ?
Is glassfish good enought to handle both static and dynamic content?

I tried to download a 700MB file from glassfish doc root and it appeared to
be slower than apache serving the same file. Did I miss some http listener
tuning in GF.

thanks,
