Hi, Thanks for your reply.
I have debug logging on and see no GC pauses that are that long. GC pauses are all well below 1s and 99 times out of 100 below 100ms. Do I need to enable GC log options to see the pauses? I see plenty of these lines: DEBUG [ScheduledTasks:1] 2016-02-22 10:43:02,891 GCInspector.java (line 118) GC for ParNew: 24 ms for 1 collections as well as a few CMS GC log lines.
