Gadi- Is this a MAS environment? If yes, what is your MASDEF specifications? I believe you may be putting a bit of strain on the Checkpoint and if your HOLD and DORMANCY haven't been touched in a while, this may be contributing to this. Now before you ask what should these values be, your configuration is important, and what is running in each image as related to JES2 functions is important.
