Minor GC times doubled from JDK 6u35 to JDK 7u51

        The increase in the minor GC times with jdk7 is due to the fact that in jdk7 Intern strings and Class-statics were moved to the Java Heap from the PermGen, and these Intern strings and Class-statics are also collected as part of the young generation collections. That causes increase in the minor collection pauses.

        There is a debug option 'JavaObjectsInPerm' which can be used to revert the above change and with this option enabled intern strings and class statics get allocated into the PermGen again.
