(IE do we put tomcats on > another server and use apache/modjk to load balance across 2 servers You seem to be flailing in the dark a little there. All you know is that things slow down under load. This means that some resource needed by your setup is running out. First you need to figure out what that resource is. Are you low on memory? Is CPU usage too high? Is disk usage too high? Grab some of your basic system monitoring tools and have a look. (Obviously we can't provide more guidance than that because we have no idea what system you are running on or what are the characteristics of your load.)
