I see your point. I haven't explicitly tested those pauses. You can get them from the gc logs (with some amount of perl parsing). Subjectively speaking, I saw a higher probability of timeouts if GC took too long. One other thing to look out for would be CMS failures (when you start a CMS cycle but the young generation GCs run out of memory to promote objects) which then results in a full GC cycle. Probably I can rerun the tests and save the gc logs as well and put them somewhere. - -M - -- Dr. Mikio Braun email: mi...@cs.tu-berlin.de TU Berlin web: ml.cs.tu-berlin.de/~mikio Franklinstr. 28/29 tel: +49 30 314 78627 10587 Berlin, Germany -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (GNU/Linux) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAkx/0wkACgkQtnXKX8rQtgC7CwCfSHyh4+6mMxKIbcmNCUegeY8P 0cwAnAhQrFKomDJ96P1ZQ3cZowDmrim1 =Lwuj -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
