Inclusion of pause time in gc.log

[Viton, Pedro (Nokia - ES/Madrid)]

Hi:

I've downloaded the latest Java11 Early Access to try out ZGC.
I have to admit I'm really impressed with its reduced pause time, that I measure with MXBeans

I also like that the log line (included in gc.log, with default logging enabled) indicates the % of the heap before and after the collection
[26.814s][info][gc] GC(0) Garbage Collection (Metadata GC Threshold) 168M(1%)->78M(1%)
[28.719s][info][gc] GC(1) Garbage Collection (Metadata GC Threshold) 212M(2%)->94M(1%)
[37.136s][info][gc] GC(2) Garbage Collection (Warmup) 3764M(31%)->1606M(13%)
[45.807s][info][gc] GC(3) Garbage Collection (Allocation Rate) 6468M(53%)->2530M(21%)
[48.553s][info][gc] GC(4) Garbage Collection (System.gc()) 2530M(21%)->1640M(13%)
[114.713s][info][gc] GC(5) Garbage Collection (Allocation Rate) 6454M(53%)->2198M(18%)
[165.234s][info][gc] GC(6) Garbage Collection (Allocation Rate) 8496M(69%)->3190M(26%)

I just have 1 suggestion:
Would it be possible to also include in that log line, the pause time of the collection (as the addition of the 3 pauses for each collection)?

Thanks,
                Pedro
