Thanks Rob, Well from what I see in system.log it does not appear that GC aligns with this delay. Though it does seem like quite a few GCs take place. Here is my system.log around the time of the delay:
INFO [ScheduledTasks:1] 2014-01-02 12:30:22,164 GCInspector.java (line 116) GC for ConcurrentMarkSweep: 479 ms for 1 collections, 7417499584 used; max is 8375238656 INFO [ScheduledTasks:1] 2014-01-02 12:30:37,579 GCInspector.java (line 116) GC for ConcurrentMarkSweep: 557 ms for 1 collections, 7663015624 used; max is 8375238656 INFO [ScheduledTasks:1] 2014-01-02 12:31:50,416 GCInspector.java (line 116) GC for ConcurrentMarkSweep: 633 ms for 1 collections, 6053238384 used; max is 8375238656 INFO [ScheduledTasks:1] 2014-01-02 12:32:06,525 GCInspector.java (line 116) GC for ConcurrentMarkSweep: 219 ms for 1 collections, 6430575008 used; max is 8375238656 INFO [ScheduledTasks:1] 2014-01-02 12:32:22,548 GCInspector.java (line 116) GC for ConcurrentMarkSweep: 296 ms for 1 collections, 6732761584 used; max is 8375238656 INFO [ScheduledTasks:1] 2014-01-02 12:32:37,870 GCInspector.java (line 116) GC for ConcurrentMarkSweep: 343 ms for 1 collections, 7020263776 used; max is 8375238656 INFO [ScheduledTasks:1] 2014-01-02 12:32:53,116 GCInspector.java (line 116) GC for ConcurrentMarkSweep: 443 ms for 1 collections, 7276089816 used; max is 8375238656 INFO [ScheduledTasks:1] 2014-01-02 12:33:08,557 GCInspector.java (line 116) GC for ConcurrentMarkSweep: 554 ms for 1 collections, 7662839184 used; max is 8375238656 The earliest start time on my three delayed requests is 12:32:00.083 and they all clear out at 12:32:00.517. GC log events occur at 12:31:50 and at 21:32:06. The above entries are the only log entries in system.log at this time. Any other ideas? Is this type of GC frequency and delay "normal" ? thanks, Thunder On Thu, Jan 2, 2014 at 2:27 PM, Robert Coli <rc...@eventbrite.com> wrote: > On Thu, Jan 2, 2014 at 2:24 PM, Thunder Stumpges < > thunder.stump...@gmail.com> wrote: > >> Excuse my ignorance, but where would I look for the GC info?
