Before issuing "owsctl start wrb" and "owsctl start admin", set the env variable OWS_ORAWEB_FEEDOMX=1 in the user account that is to start the web request broker (wrb) and the listener (admin). This works for almost all of those who tried it, and the performance boost is huge. Check out the Oracle for linux discussion forum at http://technet.oracle.com for more detail (search the archive).
