The good part of this is that I *have* run high-traffic sites based on
Java middleware, and have some experience in troubleshooting that from
an admin side of the container/etc. Why are you using Jetty as opposed
to something real (say Tomcat)? Deploying there shouldn't be *too*
difficult, and we might get something more valuable out of the
container. I assume that you've limited the Java heap size with
-Xms/-Xmx as well....anyhow, we can talk and hack on that part of
it....
