Andrea, thank you so very much. 
It has been hectic trying to sort through what to turn on and off for raster 
data. In addition to that my background is not in image processing at all. The 
article you posted was enlightening. The results:

The GeoTiff that rendered faster did indeed have overviews. 

The GeoTiff that locked up the CPU did NOT. 

I turned off all caching (I'd rather not use it) and loaded the corrected 
GeoTiffs (I used Gdal) and it's blazingly fast now on my Mac Pro. I will be 
trying it on my Computer 2 (Server) later and hope to see even better results. 

So my question is.... should I even bother with caching? It doesn't seem that 
it would improve performance. In fact, on my Computer 3 (production at site) 
disk thrashing seems to kill tomcat. I hope that with this new GeoTiff and no 
caching it will remedy the thrashing. After all, I'd rather use more CPU, in 
this case, than disk. 

Thoughts?
