    .
    Stack Trace: N/A
    .
    Lower performance than Java 6 when running Daytrader benchmark
    with a high number of clients (around 100).
    

Local fix

  • Pass in -Xthr:secondarySpinForObjectMonitors as a JVM option.
    

Problem summary

  • This problem is caused due to a different internal lock
    acquisition behavior when waking up from Object.wait(). It is
    noticeable in applications which use wait/notify heavily.
    

Problem conclusion

  • This defect will be fixed in:
    7.0.0 SR1
    6.0.1 SR2
    .
    The JVM's lock acquisition algorithm was modified to avoid the
    problem.
