Websphere Performance

I was hoping that someone will be able to offer a suggestion or two to help
with the performance of our WebSphere servers...

We have a very very nice 870, on which we are barely running a couple of
WebSphere servers.  We are attempting to host some WebFaced apps, but even
the basic pure web apps are performing truly poorly.  Just bringing up the
admin pages is a painful process sometimes.

Here are a couple of snapshots of our setup:  Any suggestions would be
appreciated!!!
