why this young gc is so slow?

 Right. But how big do they get at the time you see the pauses you'd like to optimize? If they're rather large consider making them smaller. That will come at price (most probably) of having full GCs happening sooner. 

Also, if you're interested in low pause times you might want to try G1 or CMS.
