G1:long remark pauses

[Thomas Viessmann]

Hi Bengt,

Sure, the application has lots of objects and references.
Downsizing the application has been tried The heap size of 24 g is
already at minimum. A  smaller heap gave OutOfmemory really quick.
My question was more whether the remark phases could be optimized
further. I assume this is not the case and we have reached the limitations
of G1, right?

Thanks and Regards

Thomas
