Hello Talha,

seems that your tomcats are fine.
Question, you mention that the tomcat do not perform, but you don't
tell us how you come to this conclusion except for cpu load.
What is the difference in response times between weblogic and tomcat?
Maybe your tomcat just perform the job MUCH faster ;-)
The thread dump you posted in another reply indicates that your
tomcats are idling.
Do you have manager installed? With manager you could monitor active
connections and requests.
Do you have probe installed?
Finally, if you really want to profile your application, do you have
moskito installed? :-) (the one i initially wrote
-moskito.anotheria.net, therefore the shameless advertisement).

In the last case I can offer you to provide support getting it running.

regards
Leon
