option combinations

[Victor Cheung]

does this mean i should be setting ParallelGCThreads and ParallelCMSThreads if i am using ParNew and CMS on a multi-core system with more than one JVM running?

So for example, if i had 2 JVMs running on a 8 CPU machine, my options for each JVM (among others) would be:  -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:ParallelGCThreads=4 -XX:ParallelCMSThreads=4

Is this correct?

The JDK version we are using is 6u5... does this version support ParallelCMSThreads?

Right ParallelCMSThreads controls the number of threads
used in the concurrent (marking) phase(s) in 6uXX.
