Hi All

We are trying to profile our software on a single server in order to
determine how many transactions per second it can handle. We were
trying to figure out what extent we can push it to. What we are
observing is that things run fine on the server for like an hour and
then everything goes haywire. We tried to dump the GC details and
figured that the full GC times are on an average 15 secs (snapshot
shown below). I am using the following VM options
-Xms1024M -Xmx4096M -XX:+UseConcMarkSweepGC -
XX:CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction=50. How do I go about tuning this? I
am sure one of you might have more insight and point in the right
direction as to what the next steps should be for me. Please advice
