30ms pauses are on the low side of normal for a 800MB young gen under parnew. We're not going to be able to get rid of those, although it looks like you're seeing objects in the young gen die *very* quickly, so cutting that to say 200MB might give you shorter (and more frequent) pauses for the young gen.
If you can mail me the entire log file I can look to see if there were any stop-the-world full collections, which is where you'd see the multi-second pauses that we really want to avoid.
