Hi,
The first time you do a request Tomcat loads the servlet ( if it isn't
already loaded) and calls init.
To initialize a connection pool takes some time. I feel it too on a PIII
800MHz with 256MB RAM.
You can set the servlet to be loaded automatically on Tomcat's startup with
<load-on-statup>0</load-on-statup> in web.xml
In this case when the first request is made the servlet will be already
initialized.
