If I choose to use Servlets for all my pages that simply reference jsp pages, I am taking a performance hit? Many of these pages could simply just be a jsp page without a servlet but for an orgnization point of veiw having all servlets maybe better.

Why not go with a Model-View-Controller Design (MVC)? Have one or more central Servlets that direct requests to the appropriate JSP page.

Or (in a Struts-like manner), the Controlling Servlet dispatches a helper request handler to do the processing and then this handler forwards to the JSP when it's done.

That said, If you have a performance problem by using the recommended approach, get a faster computer. It will be cheaper than paying a higher number of experienced programmers than necessary to maintain the site's code base.
