my suggestion would be to make sure if the delay is coming from the connector or somewhere else, you could use some monitoring tools jmeter [http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/], moskito [http://moskito.anotheria.net/] or just write your own filter which logs the number of active session, the average time of request handling,.. once you have this data the focus will get smaller and then you can concentrate on identifying the source of the problem either its the connector or your application's code
