Can you post the workers.properties file? I use equal lblweight (I think that is the name of the property) set to 100 for the 4 Tomcat instances.
I have a nearly identical setup: twp Apache 1.3.27 server running on Redhat 7.3 load balancing across 4.0.6 Tomcat instances running on two Solaris 8 servers. We have no performance issues and I am using the default Processor settings in server.xml. We go through roughly 1 million hits a month.
