Just for completeness on anyone reading this... Setting development mode to false has vastly improved the performance, as is no doubt already known by most people! My Old Generation memory now cycles nicely, clearing out by 75% each time.
I also added the "checkInterval" parameter (at anything greater than zero) to enable background compiling of JSPs, otherwise any changes to the JSP files are not reflected on the website if development mode is false. Thanks again for the help Mark... and guess what... we have since been asked to upgrade to Tomcat-7.0.19 by our PCI auditors! Useful!
