Ok so I finally figured it out... in the Jboss settings file which is ../jboss-5.1.0.GA-src/build/output/jboss-5.1.0.GA/bin/run.conf you have to change the JAVA OPTS;
From # JAVA_OPTS="-Xms128m -Xmx512m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dorg.jboss.resolver.warning=true -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000"
To something like this-- # JAVA_OPTS="-Xms1024m -Xmx1024m -XX:MaxPermSize=256m -Dorg.jboss.resolver.warning=true -Dsun.rmi.dgc.client.gcInterval=3600000 -Dsun.rmi.dgc.server.gcInterval=3600000"
I hope that helps someone else out there. My pages on my application are loading at 6 sec a pop compared to 10 minutes a page.
