This is similar to the settings I've been working on that I've documented on my wiki page, with better results than you are seeing, and a larger heap than you have configured: https://wiki.apache.org/solr/ShawnHeisey#G1_.28Garbage_First.29_Collector You have one additional option that I don't -- InitiatingHeapOccupancyPercent. I would suggest running without that option to see how it affects your GC times. I'm curious what OS you're running under, whether the OS and Java are 64-bit, and whether you have actually enabled huge pages in your operating system. If it's Linux and you have enabled huge pages, have you turned off transparent huge pages as documented by Oracle: https://blogs.oracle.com/linux/entry/performance_issues_with_transparent_huge On my servers, I do *not* have huge pages configured in the operating system, so the UseLargePages java option isn't doing anything. One final thing ... Oracle developers have claimed that Java 8u40 has some major improvements to the G1 collector, particularly for programs that allocate very large objects. Can you try 8u40? Thanks, Shawn
