You don't give any clue what your servlet does. If it, for example, embeds a jsp in its response, the jsp might need to get compiled into a servlet (the way that jsps are implemented) on first access. Try the second request in this case, which should be a lot faster than the first.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
