Another thing to check is the Java Heap Size setting. We have details on our blog re changing this if necessary here

Try setting the threshold for that to a low value (say, 10 seconds) for a little bit so that you can develop a small catalog of pages that are taking longer than they should. 2) I am using MX for J2EE for JRun on Solaris (w/ Apache 2.0.47) out in production right now. One thing I have noticed is that when I first start up my MX instances, either JRun or MX runs rather "sluggishly" (not egregious, but noticeable) for the first little bit. After a time (I'm narrowing it down still, but it's in the low minutes range), things pick up considerably. My hunch is that either JRun or MX is taking time to cache certain processes (and not just the class files) and acquire the memory space it needs to function smoothly. 3) Have you used any of IPlanet's logging/debugging features to see if it's the underlying J2EE engine that may be having some problems? I have never used IPlanet, so I can't point you to anything specific, but JRun comes with an impressive aresenal of logging/debugging features built into it such that it's a few XML tweaks to get the logging/debugging up and running. Of course, this last point is one where you only want to try this in your dev/staging environment (duh). 4) One thing I've learned is that simply running "top" is not sufficient when dealing with Java applications. You also need to use vmstat and other diagnostic tools to more efficiently track virtual memory usage. Perhaps your application is generating a ton of object, thus consuming your allocated VM space? That's something that "top" won't indicate on its own. Also, read up a bit (if you're not already familiar) with the various garbage collection mechanisms. Perhaps your current collector is not the most efficient option? Hope this helps get you going.
