ParallelGCThreads

[Sujit.Das at cognizant.com]

We have a distributed trading application. I have a processor set of 16 CPU bound to process A and 8 CPU to process B. Please consider following scenarios:

Scenario1: ParallelGCThreads set to 16 for both Process A and B.

Scenario2: ParallelGCThreads set to 8 for both Process A and B.

Now for scenario2, I see that threadstop time has increased (got worse) for process A and reduced (improved) for process B. Is this an expected behaviour? Also will this (# of ParallelGCThreads vs # of CPUs) impact rate of minor collections?

Thanks and Regards,
Sujit
