Hi Poonam,

Do you know if roots formally in perm were preventing a lot of data from being reclaimed by the minor collections?

Regards,
Kirk

These pauses have increased due to the fact that the Intern strings and the class statics were moved from PermGen to the Java Heap in JDK7 and, are collected as part of the minor GC collections thus contributing to the increase in GC times.
