> {quote}
> The JVM by default exports statistics by mmap-ing a file in /tmp
> (hsperfdata). On Linux, modifying a memory mapped file can block until disk
> I/O completes, which can be hundreds of milliseconds. Since the JVM modifies
> these statistics during garbage collection and safepoints, this causes pauses
> that are hundreds of milliseconds long.
> {quote}
> Via [JVM mmap pause|http://www.evanjones.ca/jvm-mmap-pause.html].
> We should add {{-XX:+PerfDisableSharedMem}} to our default options as was
> apparently done in CASSANDRA-9242 and/or document the presence of this bug so
> operators know to use tmpfs.
