Are you sure the problem is Tomcat? If your clients have a long
keepalive timeout with httpd and you are not using the event MPM, then
each client is tying-up an HTTP connection (and thread) while not
actually accomplishing anything. You may be starving your own clients
by not having enough connections available to httpd.

I have it on good authority that ab isn't great at launching
simultaneous requests (high concurrency). Unless you have lots of
servers available to generate load, you might want to try a different
tool. (Though 5000 concurrent requests isn't much, so it will probably
suffice)
