Thanks for the reply, I found that option yesterday and set up my Connector element with request.registerRequests="false" which solved that, then I got blocking on the JspServletWrapper.service method - so I precompiled the jsps - which solved that, then I got blocking on some of my own code where I'd never had a problem before, in short I think the box is simply overloaded - so I'm going to upgrade it, the 5 minute load average peaks at around 20 and is generally over 6 during the day time.
