The documentation offers some more potential issues when there is high
system time: https://docs.oracle.com/javase/9/gctuning/garbage-first-ga
rbage-collector-tuning.htm#GUID-8D9B2530-E370-4B8B-8ADD-A43674FC6658 (T
he section is applicable to both JDK8 and 9).

The VM/garbage collector is a user level program. High system time (at
least as high as in your snippet) strongly indicates a problem in the
environment (or in the interaction with your environment, i.e. memory
or I/O related).

Agree, please move to the hotspot-gc-use list which is more
appropriate.

Thanks,
