Thanks. I guess I could restate the question as, "Does GC inefficiency really matter 
if overall CPU utilization remains low?"

I don't know. Does it matter to you?

If you have a lot of GC your CPU% wil not be very low. GC is CPU bound (if you 
are not swapping).
If your server still has enough CPU power and the users are not complaining 
about the speed, than you don't have a problem.

Ronald.

If CPU utilization is low, you are not experiencing meaningful GC inefficiency. 
 The heap configuration might not be 100% perfect, but that's really only a 
concern for people publishing benchmark numbers.  If you're satisfied with your 
throughput and responsiveness, and your trend lines indicate you'll stay 
satisfied, leave whatever you've got alone.
