You've also totally failed to include numbers for I/O (don't forget, it's not necessarily MB/sec that counts, it's requests/sec) and for Network usage, and also for the perfomance pattern of the SQL Server system, which is considerably more likely to be the bottleneck than the app seeing that most people don't properly understand how to configure a database server.

I am about 90% sure the bottleneck is Tomcat or what's running on top of Tomcat. Application uses JDBC queries to MS SQL server Chips are Intel Xeon. My monitoring data: Memory utilization under 30%, CPU under 10%. Using hardcore performance tools and systematic approach. The bottom line is that Tomcat/my application combo don't seem to handle more than a certain number of users. All I want to do is to up the # of users by 3. So far it sounds that the approach of adding separate instance of Tomcat and using round robin is better than adding a separate JVM.

Your 4 CPU machine (which cpu's btw?) should be able to handle more than 1000 users (unless you are speaking about suns cpu) without problems. Maybe you should provide more info about your application. Do you have any monitoring data?
