How can I monitor the stack usage of a java application

Question

I'm working on a Java application which is running very slowly. In order to increase the performance, I would like to monitor it first.

Using jvisualm I can monitor the heap size of my Java application, and jconsole - both tools are present in the JDK's bin folder - I can see the "Non-Heap Memory Usage", but as my application seems to contain quite some recursive calls, I'd like to know the amount of stack which is used.

Does anybody know a tool which allows me to monitor this?

Thanks
