Okay. That shouldn't be a problem.

OMG that is a /lot/ of Tomcat instances. How many request-handler
threads do you have configured for each?

You didn't say what JDK version you are using, but unless you have
something that is seriously out of date, the JDK will use as many CPUs
as you have available to the VM.

With 20 JVMs running on a 4GB machine, I'd say that swapping is going to
be a huge problem. Try running a single instance to see how it works
out. If that is reasonably fast, then try adding more instances until it
starts to suck. Then, check your swap file usage and I'll bet you'll see
that at some point, you start to heavily swap. You're not seeing Tomcat
hosing... you're seeing your OS thrashing.
