My apologies if this has been described somewhere but what is MUT time?

Also, isn't 30% GC a bit high? This is something that totally surprised me when I first saw it as my program was spending 60-70% on GC.

Is there a good low % number that should be used as a benchmark?

        Thanks, Joel

  Alloc rate    68,007,748 bytes per MUT second

  Productivity  69.7% of total user, 67.9% of total elapsed

My hypothesis is that when we give each thread its own memory block, all the thread stacks occupy the same cache lines and we end up with a lot more cache misses (notice it's the MUT time that increased, not the GC time).
