Having Performance issue and stuck thread on one of the Production OAM Servers the web page URl Load with 20 second delay, disabling the audit.db will resolve the issue. After disabling the <serviceInstanceRef ref="audit.db"/> from jps-config.xml the performance for OAM and struck thread got resolved.
