Major GC occurring before CMS occupancy fraction

[Bernd Eckenfels]

Hello,

I see 

ParNews from 5GB/5GB -> 140MB 
CMS 4GB/10GB -> 1GB/10GB

That would fit the 40% mark, but your args are different.

I suspect some of the pools like code cache, perm gen or similiar
beeing full. I am not sure if this is only logged with
-XX:+PrintGCCause, but you can try. You might even be able to observe
it with "jstat -gccause" live.

Gruss
Bernd
