What I do know is that under normal operations there are regions that I wished could be collected that can’t be collected. I say this because they don’t meet the thresholds to be included in the CSet. That said, the amount of dead in each of the tenured regions is enough that overall there is a visible negative effect on GC pause times.

I imagine you have tried to set G1HeapWastePercent=0, what did you observe ?
