I meant .. increasing the number of threads does not really show any
variation.  There's still a large deviation between the samples at the
beginning of the test and the samples at the end.

Okay .. I'll try to structure another test that accesses the data source
directly as a URL and remove the servlet from the equation.

Thanks for getting me a little closer.  I still welcome any other
insight.
