problem in gc with incremental mode

Hi Dori --

What's the version of JDK you are running? Can you share a complete log?
It appears as though the iCMS "auto-pacing" is, for some reason, not
kicking in "soon enough"; one workaround is to use turn off auto-pacing
and use an explicit duty-cycle (which has its own disadvantages).

I'd suggest filing a bug, and including a complete log file showing
the problem.

thanks.
