The "heap dump" aspect of this is not something I'm familiar with, but if the threads don't affect the list of classes dumped, they surely must affect what is in the heap dump otherwise their execution would not be an issue. So you must be sacrificing something by not having these threads start. ------------- PR: https://git.openjdk.java.net/jdk/pull/7748
