I think this threshold is much too large. I've instrumented the code to track
the maximum memory use of the buffers and tested the max memory use and the
performance for 2, 4 and 8 parallel iteration threads and for a threshold of
128 MB and 1 MB (using my scenario with a 32 GB heap):
128 MB threshold:
2 threads -> 57 MB max memory, 64.6 seconds duration
4 threads -> 88 MB max memory, 40.5 seconds duration
8 threads -> 170 MB max memory, 29.6 seconds duration
1MB threshold:
2 threads -> 8 MB max memory, 64.6 seconds duration
4 threads -> 15 MB max memory, 39.5 seconds duration
8 threads -> 32 MB max memory, 28.9 seconds duration
As you can see, using a much lower threshold has no discernable performance
impact, but uses a lot less memory. Also note that the memory consumption can
be much higher in the worst case scenario.
