G1 is bad for me

[Andrei Pozolotin]

    Ramki, hello;

    thank you for the advice - I followed it;

    results:

    1) pauses now are 500 ms instead of 1000 ms;

    2) no crashes under production load after 30 minutes;

    progress!

    now I am looking for advice how to move pauses into 50 ms range
    and remove all-4-cpu stop the world 100% cpu load spikes;

    log attached;

    cheers,

    Andrei
