        It has been observed with 6.0 u4 that CMS is far less efficient than
        with 6.0 u2. While we get a regular sawtooth curve in u2 we notice
        with u4 that CMS for some reason seems to be unable to collect all
        dead objects. The effect will be be over time more frequent CMS runs
        which collect fewer and fewer objects. Used memory increases as well
        as cpu consumption. However, later on, CMS is then suddenly able to
        collect large chunks. Memory usage will go down. This scenario will
        then repeat from the beginning.
        Changed synopsis to reflect evaluation of root cause:

        6u2+, 7b11+: CMS never clears referents when -XX:+ParallelRefProcEnabled
