    Kirk, you're right!  The MinFreeRatio and MaxFreeRatio do result in
    an<br>
    initiating occupancy as you describe.  Does seem like a concurrent<br>
    collection should have started.  <br>

            I don't see CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction on the command
            line.<br>
            <h4>-Xmx896m -Xss128k -XX:NewSize=384M -XX:MaxPermSize=96m
              -XX:+UseParNewGC -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC</h4>
            so CMS isn't using occupancy of the tenured gen to start a
            cycle. That is the<br>
            default behavior.<br>

      <div>Ok, I'm trying to understand what you are saying. It was my
        understanding that CMS is initiated when tenured reaches a value
        of 68% = current occupancy +  the anticipated promotions. So are
        you saying that setting the initiating occupancy fraction
        doesn't override that value, it completely changes how CMS is
        triggered? Is the flag UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly only valid
        when you use CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction or does that flag
        also use anticipated promotions as part of it's calculation?</div>
