tomcat response on Linux is very slow for clients behind proxy server

[faria hassan]

Hi,
I'm running Tomcat5.0.26 (as it comes bundled with JBoss) on Fedora Linux
2.6.12-1.1381_FC3smp. I'm having the strangest problem. For users behind a
proxy and making requests over Http1.0, the response time is very slow.
However, for clients who are not behind a proxy server, the response time is
excellent. The same version of Tomcat on Windows XP has excellent response
time.
I'm having a very difficult time determining whether this is a Linux issue
or Tomcat .
Please help.
