# Base settings and GC logging
-server -XX:+AlwaysPreTouch  # First should be default, but we make it explicit, second pre-zeroes memory mapped pages on JVM startup -- improves runtime performance
# -Xloggc:gc-%t.log  # CUSTOMIZE LOCATION HERE - $path/gc-%t.log -- the %t in the gc log file path is so we get a new file with each JVM restart

-XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution -XX:+PrintReferenceGC -XX:+PrintAdaptiveSizePolicy # gather info on object age & reference GC time for further tuning if needed.

# G1 specific settings -- probably should be default for multi-core systems with >2 GB of heap (below that, default is probably fine)
