Arun C Murthy commented on MAPREDUCE-712:
-----------------------------------------

bq.  I wonder how much time you were spending in gc with such small heaps. That 
might explain the cpu load.

Agreed. You have 5G of data per map (50TB/100k maps) which results in a 
significant number of output Text objects being created in RandomTextWriter (a 
potential bug).
Thus, we'd get a lot of data out of the profiles of the tasks...
