I bet this is because you are using a session. The first time a session is
created via tomcat, ot initially takes a long time as it generates a list of
primes for session ID's (IIRC). This will only happen the first time a
session is used via tomcat, all further uses of sessions don't have the same
delay. Some people have gone as far to run a bootstrap servlet when they
start tomcat specifically to create a session so users don't see the delay

Subject: creating a instance of a servlet: takes too long!!
