As jkotas said in the discussion:

 These types of GCs typically trade throughput for shorter pause 
 times. For example, they often use GC read barriers that make 
 accessing object reference fields significantly slower.

Judging from the benchmarks that were posted there yesterday, the 
lowest pause times lead to approximately double the execution 
time. It might be worthwhile for those wanting reduced pauses but 
obviously not for anyone else.
