Actually with the small but growing load you have (small compared to what our servers get) you may be getting to the point where you need to do some JVM tuning.
What version JVM are you running and please post the java.args line from the jvm.config file. I can offer plenty of tuning help. I just started my own blog (why not everyone else has one) and I was starting to write up how to tune the JVM for high availability. You can start here and maybe I will finish the article soon. But I can answer your questions here also. http://www.trunkful.com/index.cfm/2008/5/19/How-to-Tune-the-JVM- Part-1 (and no I am not a designer) Wil Genovese One man with courage makes a majority. -Andrew Jackson A fine is a tax for doing wrong.
