hmm, very interesting. What other processes are running outside the VM? do you have process monitors, intrusion detection or other memory/IO intensive processes running on the same box? you can rule out native drivers as a possible cause. the VM still could be causing it. tomcat is most likely not the cause. that still leaves a lot of variables you have to track down. what are the exact system specs again? peter
