There are actually a few interesting things to look at in v7. Three that I like the most: 1. fork-join framework (work-stealing) 2. nio2 finally fixing paging for direct buffers 3. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/technotes/guides/lang/cl-mt.html
Other than that, the G1 collector seems to have quite different behavior; will be interesting to do some before/after gc log analyses on some simple apps via 'ab' generated loads.
