RFR: JDK-8122944 perfdata used is seen as too high on sparc zone with jdk1.9 and causes a test failure

[Staffan Larsen]

This test is failing on machines with lots of CPUs since we create lots of compiler threads and there are 4 perf counters for each compiler thread. This eats memory.

A simple solution is to just bump the default for PerfDataMemorySize from 32K to 64K - "that should be enough for everyone.”

Thanks,
