Can you tell us some more about the algorithm?

Is it one process with one connection, or are you restarting the
Java application many times? What are the queries it executes?
Is autocommit on or off?

What JDK/JRE did you use? I've heard that the IBM JDK performs
well. It would be interesting to give it a try. Its a free
download on http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/java/
