We haven't yet run any thread dumps (I assume you're talking about using the -verbose switch and then the kill -3), or is there another way?
The problem definitely lies within a GF resource, as the section that it hangs on is well before our applications come into the mix, once it reaches our applications they start up very quickly.
Thanks.
