What makes you think that?

Threads related to Tomcat, or threads that are started by your
application?

The presentation is markt's, not mine.

Well... there are many ways to cache data, but if you are caching it
in your application (and not in an out-of-process-cache like ehcache,
memcached, etc.) then by definition it's in your application's heap spac

You may also be using in-memory caching as opposed to on-disk caching.

Honestly, I would spend your time by disabling any caching and making
sure that the application doesn't leak memory *before* you add any
caching before you start introducing any kind of caching.

I would remove all the caching and make sure that the application
works properly without leaking any memory before moving on to improve
performance.

To do otherwise would be considered premature optimization. Nobody
likes an application that falls-over, even if it does so with
high-performance. Users will tolerate a slow application if it's the
only thing wrong with it.
