Thank you Peter, I forgot to add that I had set the parameters as follows:
"-Djava.awt.headless=true -Xmx1500m -Xms1500m"

The -D parameter was there before so I did not mess with it.. I had tried with and without the -Xms parameter and did not see any difference in behavior.

I increased the machine specs
from 64mb ram 500 mhz pII to a P4 1.3ghz 1gb ram.

Java will only use the amount of RAM you tell it to, not the entire machine 
RAM.  It defaults to a low value - probably 64Mbytes in your environment.  
You'll need to add appropriate statements to set Java's minimum and maximum 
heap memory to your Tomcat startup script.  From memory (it's a long time since 
I used a non-Windows Tomcat) this comes down to adding something like:

export JAVA_OPTS=-Xms512m -Xmx768m

to catalina.sh - if it already has JAVA_OPTS in there, just add those to the 
end.  You'll need to tune them so you still have enough memory for the OS and 
any other services on the box.

http://wiki.apache.org/tomcat/FAQ/Memory is probably useful reading.
