I've seen something like this, and we were able to diagnose it on a Unix 
environment by using a program called truss 
(http://www.scit.wlv.ac.uk/cgi-bin/mansec?1+truss) which allows you to 
watch every file that is getting read.  I don't know of a Windows 
equivalent.  Most Java profilers I know of do not help you find IO 
related issues very well, so you might want to look for a lower level OS 
tool to see what's changing.

What we found was that the application was looking for a class that did 
not exist.  Java does not hold a cache entry for "class not found", so 
it kept opening every jar in the entire classpath to find said class, 
numerous times for a single http request because of where this library 
was used.  You might want to check all the resin/lib and WEB-INF/lib and 
whatever other classes to see if a non-critical class is missing but 
being searched for over and over.

Hope this helps.
