You are correct. That is the intent of the MaxTenuringThreshold parameter. Setting the value > 1 keeps objects in survivor space longer, if there is space to keep them. The intent of keeping objects in survivor space for longer than one ParNew cycle is to prevent relatively short lived objects from being promoted to old gen space if they are just going to be eliminated in the next CMS collection its better to keep them in survivor space.
