Tenuring distribution

[Sujit.Das at cognizant.com]

Hi All,
 
I am trying to look whether there is any scope in improving tenuring distribution by changing survivor space or Max Tenuring Threshold. I have read some Tenuring distribution examples. But following tenuring distribution output of my application confuses me and not sure whether the young generation is well-tuned or not. The following tenuring distribution O/P is result of consecutive minor collections. It increases from age 1 to 3 (sometimes upto age 4) and then drops to age 1. It then again increases with each minor collection.
 
Please do let me know your thoughts.
