option combinations

[Michael Finocchiaro]

I have found that NewRatio is overridden by almost any other flag and  
that it is recommended to use Xmn instead.
Also beware that CMS will set SurvivorRatio=1024 but that you can  
specify SurvivorRatio explicitly to override this.
All ParNewGC/CMS flags are unique to the low-pause collector (same  
goes for ParallelGC/ParallelOldGC for the throughout collector) except  
as Ramki said ParallelGCThreads.
I think that Java6 gave us control for the CMSThreads or am I mistaken?
Cheers,
Fino
