Andrew, Increasing the JVM is one of the most essential step towards optimizing performance of your web tier. The right hand rule use to be that your Max JVM setting should be no greater than 70% of the total available ‘free memory’ on your server once all the other processes minus the web server has been started..
You might want to look at garbage collection too to further optimize it. You will find documentations on optimizing GC on tomcats website.
