Can you get a thread dump from the JVM? That should show if the JVM's
stuck waiting on an external resource or something.

Are you using JNI? I've heard that IBM's JVM doesn't handle JNI well
(something about it using AIX's POSIX pthreads lib). This was under the
1.4 JVM, though, might not apply to 1.5.
