Try this config:

<Connector port="8080" 
protocol="org.apache.coyote.http11.Http11NioProtocol" 
redirectPort="8443" 
maxHttpHeaderSize="8192"
maxThreads="150" 
minSpareThreads="25" 
maxSpareThreads="75"
enableLookups="false" 
acceptCount="100"
connectionTimeout="20000" disableUploadTimeout="true"
compression="on"
compressionMinSize="2048"
noCompressionUserAgents="gozilla, traviata"
compressableMimeType="text/html,text/xml,text/plain,text/javascript,text/css"              
/>

You can turn of the compression if you think you don't need it. This is for Tomcat 6 and up.
