Well, there could be loads of trouble in a Tomcat!
Normally it isn't just the Tomcat performing badly, the most common problem is design 
and code
problems.
You can gain 10-20% performance by tweaking Tomcat but that doesn't sound like  it's 
enough to solve
your problem.
To me your problem sounds like a threadding problem!

Are you using SingleThreadModel on the servlets (Don't) ?
Are any of the service() (also doPost, doGet ect.) methods synchronized ?
Do you use the session object for storing large amounts of data (don't) ?
How many DB connections do you have ?
What's the threadcount ?

Don't mind that it's about WebSphere, the general principles are the same.:
