As the system slows down, do you see an increase in CPU usage?  This can often 
indicate a problem with garbage collection.  In this case, you would want to 
enable garbage collection logging to gather more information about the problem.

If you don't see any increase in CPU usage, then you should take some thread 
dumps when the server is running slow (2 - 3 thread dumps, spread over a 30 - 
45 second period is usually sufficient).  These would indicate if there is 
thread contention or blocking that is causing the slow down.
