----------------------------------------------------------------------

-The debate here isn't between "Do we consider G1 or disregard G1 entirely as 
the general case", but rather "Do we use CMS or G1 as our default GC for 3.0, 
keeping the settings for the alternative available in our configuration files 
for users to swap between easily".-

Edit: missed the "general case" phrase. To that point, I haven't heard of 
actual data showing what the general case is for C* usage is in the wild 
regarding heap size. I would expect that large heap deployments will be 
disproportionately reflected in the memories of people in the field  since CMS 
causes pain at that point.

[~enigmacurry]: did we ever get that 100x test run to complete successfully? 
Before we determine whether Paulo should go fully down this rabbit-hole pre 3.0 
releasing, I'd like that data point since we invested some effort into getting 
that running already.

> For smaller heap sizes G1 appears to have some throughput/latency issues when 
> compared to CMS. With our default max heap size at 8G on 3.0, there's a 
> strong argument to be made for having CMS as the default for the 3.0 release.
