I have a CMS config that's even more tuned than before, and it has made things MUCH better. This new config is inspired by more info that I got on IRC: http://wiki.apache.org/solr/ShawnHeisey#GC_Tuning The G1 customizations in your blog post don't look like they are really G1-specific - they may be useful with CMS as well. This statement also applies to some of the CMS parameters, so I would use those with G1 as well for any testing. UseNUMA looks interesting for machines that actually are NUMA. All the information that I can find says it is only for the throughput (parallel) collector, so it's probably not doing anything for G1. The pause parameters you've got for G1 are targets only. It will *try* to stick within those parameters, but if a collection requires more than 50 milliseconds or has to happen more often than once a second, the collector will ignore what you have told it. Thanks, Shawn
