Started with 5.0.3. The upgrade to 5.1 went splendid, performance was fine.
But to upgrade to any version > 5.2, 5.2.2, 5.3, 5.4.5, 6.1 is very slow three times slower to render the home page. Subsiquent visits to the page are equally slow.
I thought it might be a problem with the upgrade, but I did a clean install of 6.1 and it is still three times slower than my 5.1 install.

Tomcat Options:
CATALINA_OPTS=" -Xms800m -Xmx800m -XX:MaxPermSize=196m -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=100"
Also tired lowering the Xms (as recommended by IBM Java folks) but did not help
CATALINA_OPTS=" -Xms256m -Xmx800m -XX:MaxPermSize=196m -Djava.awt.headless=true -XX:+UseParallelGC -XX:MaxGCPauseMillis=100"
The part that is most puzzling is that a fresh install of 6.1 is still sooooo much slower.
Tomcat uses near 100% of cpu for any page read, and mysql uses 25% for any page read
The tomcat logs don't have any errors (I turned the log4j debugging up to see if I could catch something odd)
Any Ideas. I'm fresh out.
