In a recent webrev discussion thread I saw the statement:

    Other similar tests that had the same problem has solved this by
    adding -XX:-ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent on the command line. My
    fix here is the same.

If that is indeed the accepted approach, then CollectionUsageThreshold
should be changed in a similar manner, rather than using @requires.

[I think both approaches have pluses and minuses, but think I mildly
prefer the argument override approach rather than @requires for this.]
