Hello Dan, what also may happening is that you have unneeded or errorneous synchronisation somewhere in your code. Two instances : less code in same block and vm, effectively less synchronization.
try to profile whether some use cases take longer on the single tomcat per machine. We once tried to run multiple tomcats on one machine and the results where opposed to yours: less performance, so i think your app behaves "funny" :-) regards Leon On Fri, May 2, 2008 at 2:42 PM, Lists <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Hi, > > We have a Tomcat app that is loadbalanced by hardware.
