Description
See comments section for email thread.
Posted Date : 2006-08-10 19:36:07.0
Work Around
-XX:-UseParNewGC reduces the slow down substantially (same as 6433335);
alternatively, set -Xmx and -Xms the same to avoid the "allocation
spread" that tickles this behaviour (at least with this program).
Evaluation
See suggested fix, comments and workaround. We should fix this in 6u1
and backport as appropriate since it can cause performance surprises.

This bug fix should be backported along with that for 6433335.
