Just an addition to one of Mark's questions:

between threads?

Just in case Andreas is not aware: one can check with "top -H -p <PID>".

Using -H lets top show one line per thread instead of one line per process. That way you can easily see CPU use per thread. The "-p <PID>" would simply filter to only show the threads in your java process (by using for <PID> the process ID of your Tomcat java process).

Furthermore the PID column in "top -H" does not actually show the PID, but instead the thread IDs. If you convert that decimal numbers to hex, e.g. using the shell commandline

printf "0x%x\n" <ID>

(and replacing <ID> by the respective thread id of the lines that show high CPU usage), you get a hex number that will point you to the respective thread in the java thread dump by looking for tid=0x... in the thread header lines. The association between operating system thread number as shown in "top -H" and the tid in the Java thread dump does is stable during the lifetime of the process.
