I have very slow Tomcat start with app deployment.
Environment:
OS: Scientific Linux 6.3 x86_64
Java: 1.7.0_9 64bit
Tomcat: 7.0.32
startup tooks 150s and java process is at 100% CPU
I tried same webapp on another server (with same HW parameters) but on OS 32bit with java6 32bit and tomcat 7.0.19 and on this server tomcat starts in 30s.
I tried same java and same tomcat on new server without much success.
here is parts of tomcat logs when it waits for something...
