Hi, First, please don't blindly tune anything. Change one parameter at a time, and measure the impact using a program like JMeter, Grinder, ab, wget, or whatever load tester you like. For example, chances are the minProcessors/maxProcessors advice in the other response to your message is irrelevant, and by increasing those you'll just be taking away CPU resources from the code that needs those resources.

How much time does your Java app take now? If it's significantly less than 8 seconds (say, less than 3 sec) don't bother tuning it, and focus instead of tuning the mainframe call if at all possible. >Can anybody give any tips or sites for speeding up Tomcat/Java/Webapps? There are a ton of sites online about Java performance tuning. But again, if your app already does its thing in less than 3 seconds and the mainframe takes 8, you're wasting your time and reducing the maintainability of your code (most likely) but tuning it further. >Can anybody tell me if using <jsp:useBean> tags to pass an entire object to >a JSP is a slow way of doing things?
