Considering CPU usage, it is not
1) a java memory problem, if java memory was full, garbage collector
would start using lots of cpu
2) a time consuming java code.

It might be one of following
1) synchronized blocks in your code, that would prevent 2 simultaneoous
users from doing some operations.
2) use of SingleThreadModel, which has same effect as above
3) Network congestion, you server simply can't send the response to
client due to a too small network pipe (80 requests / second resulting
each in an about 20k response need a bandwidth of more than 12Mbits)
4) A too small physical memory on system. Eg you configure tomcat to use
1G memory but your server has only 512M available, resulting in memory
pagination (swap) and sleeping of java process during pagination process
(typically, on unix server, you will see a high % of CPU dedicated to
system instead of idle when this happen)


One way to test your server performance during heavy is to use apache
jmeter.
