Neil:

Here's a must-read blog about why allocating more memory
to the JVM than Solr requires is a Bad Thing:
http://blog.thetaphi.de/2012/07/use-lucenes-mmapdirectory-on-64bit.html

It turns out that you actually do yourself harm by allocating more
memory to the JVM than it really needs. Of course the problem is
figuring out how much it "really needs", which if pretty tricky.

Your long GC pauses _might_ be ameliorated by allocating _less_
memory to the JVM, counterintuitive as that seems.
