I have some memory- and CPU-intensive multithreaded image analysis code. In 1.8.5, on an AWS Linux system with 64 GB of RAM and 8 vCPUs, the code will run in cycles, spiking up to (for one example) 23 GB of allocated RAM and 800% CPU usage, executing in 37 min. Running the GC at the end drops memor…

Why isn’t multithreaded code saturating the CPUs anymore though?
