Major Description
Currently JAVA_GC is set as following in qpid-server
JAVA_GC="-XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -XX:+HeapDumpOnOutOfMemoryError"
In the case where an explicit GC is called this can cause significant delay. In order to avoid this the following option should also be supplied
-XX:+ExplicitGCInvokesConcurrent
In the case where RMI connections are being made to the JVM, Explicit GCs may be being called periodically (by default every hour) causing significant pauses in processing without this setting.
