It sounds like the point of G1 is to have smaller pause times, even to the point where it has the ability to specify a maximum pause time target.
I've been testing it out with a heavy application: 60-70GB allocated to heap, with 20-50GB in use at any time. With these sorts of applications, it's an understatement to say that your mileage may vary. I'm running JDK 1.
6_22 on Linux. The minor versions are important-- before about 1. 6_20, there were bugs in G1 that caused random NullPointerExceptions.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest.
