Java Lazy Allocation of Compiler Threads

Command line flag -XX:+UseDynamicNumberOfCompilerThreads dynamically control compiler threads.

The VM starts a large number of compiler threads on systems with many CPUs regardless of the available memory and the number of compilation requests. Because the threads consume memory even when they are idle (which is almost all of the time), this leads to an inefficient use of resources.

To address this issue, the implementation has been changed to start only one compiler thread of each type during startup and to handle the start and shutdown of further threads dynamically. It is controlled by a new command line flag, which is on by default:

-XX:+UseDynamicNumberOfCompilerThreads
