In fact, given that we want to find out what's growing in the heap 
during the CMS cycles (which seems to be GCed during Full GCs), it's 
better to use jmap -histo (i.e., no :live) to avoid the Full GC. But I'm 
forgetting: which VM Ken using? IIRC only jmap in 6 has the :live / no 
:live functionality (before that, it always did a Full GC, which is not 
what you want some of the time).
