Turn off the deployOnStartup attributes of the <Host> element.  Also consider 
turning off autoDeploy.

Initialization when Tomcat feels like it, which should be at the first 
reference.

Stopped is deployed but inactive; requests return a 503 status (as opposed to a 
404 when the webapp isn't deployed).  Webapps in a stopped state may be started 
or removed.  The normal cycle is:
  deploy --> start <--> stop --> undeploy
The initial transition from deploy --> start happens automatically when a 
webapp is deployed.

Juha L answered that succintly.  Gotta use all that space in the heap for 
something...
