Agreed with George... we "catch" the developers releasing (or worse, 
debugging on the production boxes) with lots of Java code that dumps 
DEBUG messages and tomcat dutifully passes these along to the log file...

Turn off the debug's in the Java code, things get a whole lot quieter... 
and faster if the box is at all I/O-bound.  Tomcat and Java are big 
enough fat pigs on their own without having them writing megs (GIGS?) of 
logs every hour.  ;-)
