I do not know if that is normal, it depends on too many factors. You could have a bottleneck somewhere in which case you need to profile the system to see where the time is being spent. Increasing acceptCount helps only if your users are getting "server too busy" errors. Have you monitored the accept queue to see how many requests are waiting for threads? Or have you monitored the number of threads in use? Try monitoring with Jopr ([ur]http://www.jboss.org/jopr[/url]), that might help with locating potential bottlenecks.
