Do you really needs 16GB of heap? Have you done any performance testing to see 
what the actual memory requirements are? Cleaning up a 16GB heap, or even a 1GB 
young generation, will take time. And using the CMS collector will not reduce 
the young generation pauses. The CMS collector does pause the app twice for 
object marking; I have no idea how long it will take to mark a 16 GB heap.

Ideally, you want the smallest heap possible that does not greatly negatively 
impact your performance.  In this case I think you have run into the "more is 
not better" anti-pattern.
