Hi Don, As someone mentioned the network can imit you. If your bandwidth utilization is at 60% or over you are in trouble since collisions start to become a serious issue.
Also, I have measured around 600microseconds for resonse time when using localhost and running the client on the same server as Tomcat but that was still going through the network card om by motherboard. I looked ito gettting a faster network card but I kept hearing 2ms was the best you could get but I got down to 1.2ms running from my laptop to my motherboard so my router (I have a high speed gaming router) and network circuitry on my systems is the current limiting factor and not Tomcat.

I'm running only about 8% cpu usage across all 4 cpu's.
