You can turn on the detailed verbose GC options in the 1.4.x VM and find out
exactly what is happening.  Also if the call is taking two minutes take a
few thread dumps in the middle of the call. The stacks will tell you exactly
what the thread is doing during that time.  By taking a few 10-15 seconds
apart you can watch it work.

Enable GC details (only available in JVM 1.4.x) 
-XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintGCTimeStamps -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC 

See my blog entry for more details on the Verbose GC and thread dumps.

This sounds like garbage collection impacting your response times 
although two minutes is outrageously high. I expect that you could tune 
your system to level out response times - there are articles on mm.com 
for this (and Nimer can definitely point you at some good resources).
