Is this image embedded in the jsp page? Are you calling it directly as

If you have it in a JSP page, one thing you might try within the JSP

<%@ page autoFlush="true" %>
<%@ page buffer="256kb"

Connection pooling is the way to go here, definitely. Setup Tomcat to do
it for you automatically on startup. Then, just grab a connection from
the pool when you need it. Some good documentation on setting up and
configuring Tomcat to do that is at
