You may have find something interesting.
Could you check via netstat in that situation how many ajp connections
are in CLOSE-WAIT ?

http native connector (HTTP/1.0) close connection at end of
request. In ajp13 the connections between apache and tomcat
are persistant. What I didn't understand is how you could
have 150 ajp13 connections to handle only 70 clients ?
Stay tuned
