The card size impacts the amount of work to be done when searching for references into an area that is to be evacuated (for example, young generation) during garbage collection. Smaller card sizes give more precise information about the location of these references, often leading to less work during garbage collection. At the same time, however, smaller card sizes can lead to more memory usage in storing this information. The increase in memory usage might result in slower performance of maintenance work during the garbage collection.
