While investigating [JDK-8329314](https://bugs.openjdk.org/browse/JDK-8329314) it was found that G1 was slower than Parallel when allocating objects because of the extra verification when running with fastdebug builds.
This tiny tests takes 30s with G1:
public class Test {
static int n = 847734685;
public static void main(String[] args) {
String[] strs = new String[n + 1];
}
}
A large portion of that time is spent inside this assert:
assert(!G1CollectedHeap::heap()->is_obj_dead_cond(_containing_obj, _vo), "Precondition");
which is called for every single oop in the _containing_obj. If I move this assert to where _containing_obj is initialized, the test now completes in 4-5 seconds. I propose that we make this tiny change to improve the speed of the debug builds.
