Tomcat consuming high CPU

Question

Tomcat.exe is consuming 75% of CPU. Is anyone having any idea why it happens and how can that be decreased?

I am using Tomcat5.5 & J2SDK v 1.4.2_12

Answer 1

This is most likely caused by the application(s) that you are running on top of the tomcat. Of course if you have very high traffic on your applications, this could also be the reason.
