Such a large difference ought to be clearly visible as a response time issue;
I wonder about the timing tools in use here, and I'd cross check it (sometimes
tough results can be crosschecked by simple means) using a stop watch in both
cases. You're not looking for perfect accuracy here, but broad verification
that things are as bad as is claimed.

Could be... could also be a process-accounting issue, and perhaps a JVM or 
application coding issue.
