I'm don't know how Apple has set it's defaults and the names
above are not specific enough.

Can you run the command

java -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintCommandLineFlags -version

You should get output such as

java -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintCommandLineFlags -version
-XX:MaxHeapSize=1073741824 -XX:+PrintCommandLineFlags
-XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+UseParallelGC
java version "1.6.0"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.6.0-b105)
Java HotSpot(TM) Server VM (build 1.6.0-b105, mixed mode)

This will tell us exactly what is being run.
