Hi,

regarding your question: The jacoco agent instruments classes when loaded the first time. "Uninstrumentation" ist not supported.

That is an interesting observation. JaCoCo should not allocate any object instances after the classes have been instrumented. May I ask you to have a closer look what allocations are causing these additional gc cycles? For example with the "agentlib:hprof=heap=sites" option:

Best regards,

I am trying to run the jacoco agent on production servers. To get coverage 
statistics from users. This helps us get an accurate target for coverage of 
manual/unit/integration tests. I know this sounds really dumb but it is 
something I would like to do. Currently we can run in our dev and qa 
environments because they don't see very much load. We cannot however run in 
production because we see an enormous amount of gc cycles. we had to more than 
double our server count to keep it up and running.

So the question is: is there a possibility of turning off the operations of the 
jacoco agent during runtime? Essentially this would let us run the jacoco agent 
on all servers but be able to turn on or off the collection (potentially 
removing performance issues). Or is the way it instruments it something that 
happens at boot and can't just be undone.
