Colin: FYI, you might consider just setting up the autocommit (or commitWithin if you're using SolrJ) for some reasonable interval (I often use 10 minutes or so).
Even though you've figured it is a Tomcat issue, each commit causes searcher re-opens, perhaps replication in a master/slave setup, increased merges etc. It works, but it's also resource intensive...
