A couple of things caught my eye....

A full GC that takes an hour is definitely a bug. Have you logged that bug?
Or at least share the GC log? What's the version of the JDK that this
behaviour
was seen with?

 Remember that jconsole asynchronously samples the heap, whose size is
read "with possible glitches". Rather, you should probably rely on the GC
log in order to assess
the heap size after each GC event, rather than the asynchronous samples from
jconsole. I myself have not had the chance to look at yr GC logs to see
what that indicated wrt the size of Eden and of the Heap.
