Hi David,

[Gustavo and others, please correct me if I'm wrong].

I think as far as impact goes, this may waste up to (N-1)/N of the young generation in some cases, where N is number of nodes. For example, on 2-socket Epyc, this could waste 7/8ths of the young gen. This has non-trivial impact on GC behavior ��

This occurs when there's a mismatch between memory binding and JVM arguments (or rather can be avoided by carefully setting JVM arguments), and I could see this happening easily when using containers.

- Derek
