如果代码中存在同步方法，并且是调用率比较高的，那么可能会出现CPU利用率低并且TPS也低的情况。通常Java应用自身的同步代码并不是很多，但是所用到的一些扩展的包，就有可能用到了同步代码。最典型的一个例子是Log4j. 给出一个示例的Thread Dump

"ExecuteThread: '152' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default'" daemon prio=1 tid=0x08d9fef8 nid=0x1f28 waiting for monitor entry [5a1fd000..5a1fe24c]

- waiting to lock <0x838664b0> (a org.apache.log4j.spi.RootCategory)

...



152号执行线程在等待<0x838664b0> (a org.apache.log4j.spi.RootCategory) 对象被其他线程释放同步锁。在完整的Thread dump中可以看出，有大量的线程都在等待同一个对象。这个对象被158号线程使用：

由于Log4j的同步代码导致出现上述的问题。所以，如果不是为了跟踪问题，尽量将Log4j的日志级别设置的高一些。减少同步代码的调用，能够极大的利用硬件资源。
