problem in gc with incremental mode

The incremental mode of CMS was implemented for running CMS on machines
with a single hardware thread. The idea was that CMS does work concurrently
with the application but with a single hardware thread, when CMS ran in
a concurrent phase, it would still be stopping the application (CMS would
use the single hardware thread and there would be nothing for the
application
to run on). So the incremental mode of CMS does the concurrent phases
in increments and gives up the hardware thread to the application on
a regular basis. On a 4 processor machine I would not recommend the
incremental
mode. If you have not tried the regular CMS (no incremental mode),
I recommend that you try it. Overall it is more efficient.
