Thank you Peter and Len, trying your advise right now. Forgot to mention my box has 4gig of RAM.

Leave it idle. Watch vmstat as the box "wakes up" Tomcat. What's happening - disk i/o? CPU? Paging traffic? My first guess is that some other process has caused large chunks of Tomcat's heap to be paged out, and the delay is due to paging issues. If you use a back-end database, this could also happen to the database. - Peter --------------------------------------------------------------------- To start a new topic, e-mail: users@tomcat.apache.org To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] ____________________________________________________________________________________ Never miss a thing.
