Thanks, hprof. :) I think hprof was designed just to sample what the thread is doing periodically, and if it's always doing the same, you don't really get any interesting information. Can you tell us what hprof options you've set, and possibly show us what output you got? You might want to try hooking up a more fully-featured profiler to your system and see what it can find. - -chris -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.10 (MingW32) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkxkN44ACgkQ9CaO5/Lv0PCGcQCdFCxSdBwVBSQaT1SFWvbhYfRq JvoAnRW5XFkCY4r8MlX7G+mhc1vaZS9y =2md4 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: users-unsubscr...@tomcat.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: users-h...@tomcat.apache.org
