The core set will be somewhat slower to run with 7u until test targets such as jdk_security2 and jdk_security3 are changed to run in agentvm mode (there are dozens of test changes in jdk8 that probably should be moved to 7u at some point). I've added several tests to the ProblemList that weren't in the jdk8 patch. This is because there are several regression tests that aren't passed on Mac yet. A full sync-up of the ProblemList is needed, this is just a first step.
