Answer 1

Log shows that its still using hypersonic database. It is in memory database, so performance depends on CPU utilization on your server and memory allocation. Better to change to MySQL database.
Change to MySQL database
Your updated log still has HSQL database connection. You mentioned that you specified MySQL properties. I guess they are not taking into effect.
Please make sure that your configuration in portal-ext.properties(Please check name of your file, in comment you mentioned file name as portlet-ext.properties, that is wrong) match as below.
Make sure that you keep portal-ext.properties in C:\sarika\liferay-portal-tomcat-6.1.2\liferay-portal-6.1.2-ce-ga3
#
# MySQL
#
jdbc.default.driverClassName=com.mysql.jdbc.Driver
jdbc.default.url=jdbc:mysql://localhost/<your database name here>?useUnicode=true&characterEncoding=UTF-8&useFastDateParsing=false
jdbc.default.username=<your database user name here>
jdbc.default.password=<your database password here>
Increase RAM
Increasing allocated RAM for liferay tomcat will improve. Below given configuration is just an example. As per availability of RAM on your machine, you may allocate more. But having same value for Xms & Xmx ensures that all memory allocated for tomcat initially saving time on increasing memory gradually.
-Xms2048m -Xmx2048m -XX:MaxPermSize=512m
If you have liferay tomcat in Windows, Add above configuration to setenv.bat in /bin. In case of Linux, configuration should be in setenv.sh for JAVA_OPTS variable.
