I am not certain if GeoServer might not have some way to improve your
setup programmatically (ie. via setup), but as an old data man myself,
I would recommend doing something to the root of your problem:
- Having ECWs that need to be decompressed for each request
- Having a large (tiled) set of data that need to be parsed/handled
for each request.

I would suggest that you use GDAL to:
1) Make a single VRT of your lib full of ECWs  (see
http://www.gdal.org/gdalbuildvrt.html)
2) Add overviews to said VRT, for instance 2 4 8 16 32 64 (depending
on your usual zooms you might even go as far as 128 or 156)  (see
http://www.gdal.org/gdaladdo.html)
3) Load said VRT instead of using an imagemosaic

That way the ECWs will only be decompressed when people want to look
at near real resolutions (better than 1/2 resolution).


Best,

Greg
