Often this kind of long startup time is due to one of the following
problems:

1. Misconfigured DNS which takes a long time to timeout during a lookup

Solution: fix your DNS

2. Use of blocking source of entropy for PRNGs

Solution: use /dev/urandom (or equivalent) instead of /dev/random (or
equivalent) in your JRE's lib/security/java.security file. The setting
you want to confirm is "securerandom.source". Most recent Sun JRE
releases use /dev/urandom if it is available.

If you are using OpenSSL via the tc-native library (aka "APR"), you
might want to check to see how that's been configured wrt random sources.

If you run Tomcat directly (not through jsvc) does it start up faster?
My guess is that jsvc is /not/ the problem here. If Tomcat itself starts
up slowly, try taking a thread dump during the long pause before
startup: it'll likely reveal the source of the problem.
